Open Wireless Platform Sensor

The project is open source, and utilizes arduino and processing that was built on each other to simplify prototyping in a way that benefits the artist, designer, maker, student, and researcher.

The Sensing Platform is a set of hardware and software tools that allow students, educators, researchers, and makers to easily collect data from multiple, disparate sensors, and then transmit the sensor data into a hub which allows for easy display, graphing, and logging of the sensor data. The Sensing Platform and its components are useful in school laboratories or anywhere sensor data needs to be collected as part of a learning process.

The Sensing Platform contains several open hardware or open source parts like the Sensing library for Arduino which includes the SensingNet protocol for communication between sensor nodes and a sensor hub, The SenseAbles hardware specification for a networked sensor node, The PlugNLearn hardware specification for a networked sensor hub which collects and displays data from networked sensor nodes and optionally transmits sensor data to a computer for logging and graphing and this project aims to follow these projects by simplifying data acquisition from common sensors, the networking of multiple sensors, and the capture and display of information from networked sensors.
