Putting ambient electromagnetic radiation on the map #56

Open andrasfuchs opened 2 years ago

I was looking at the senseBox:home device and I really like that it has so many sensors to choose from.

As a passion project I also build a device that is able to monitor its environment, process and visualize the data, but I was focusing on electromagnetic radiation. I think it is a more and more important topic, since we are bombarded with more and more electromagnetic waves all the time. Although I don't really like the expression, but "electrosmog" is a real phenomena and it can cause many health-related issues.

I can see in the spec of the MCU that it has 350 ksps ADC, that would be able to do similar measurements like I do and it could detect radiation in a certain frequency range if an antenna was attached to it. Would you consider the idea of adding a sensor for EM radiation?

I could share what I have learned about it over the years, and although I work with a dedicated, more powerful ADC at the moment attached to a Raspberry Pi, I still think I could help you with the implementation somewhat.
