HotNest

HotNest is an Arduino-based datalogger.

Disclaimer

The code and hardware prototype were done in 2011 for a community project with the aim to collect temperature-map data from the honeybee winter cluster. There were no much development since then. My implementation of hardware prototype is still working nowadays (in 2019).

Sketches and scripts

Hotnest.pde

The main part is Hotnest.pde sketch for Arduino board. It works as datalogger for array of temperature sensors installed in a beehive.

It currently uses next libraries (besides those distributed with arduino):

• FAT16 - http://code.google.com/p/fat16lib/ GNU General Public License v3

• OneWire - bsd-like license TODO: give a link
• PString - http://arduiniana.org/libraries/PString GNU LGPL

FillEEPROM.pde

FillEEPROM.pde is a sketch that allows to scan address of a sensor (DS18B20 returns 8 bytes as a unique address) and write it into EEPROM. It saves program memory we need for other stuff. :)

Farm

This part will include server side script to accept data from serial port (USB) and log it into files (or database).
