Note that bad vendors show photos of the pre-assembled boards in their listing, but then ship you the no-name assemble-it-yourself part kit. Note: To save time, you can spend an extra $1 for pre-assembled boards by Deek Robot, Keyes, & Gravitech. I always get the ones with A6 & A7 broken out at the back edge of the board. In return for that time you get all the pins broken out, making this approach almost as flexible as a breadboard, and much more physically robust. Pop them into some pre-made boxes and these little guys qualify as deploy-able for relatively stable environments (though I wouldn’t use those pre-made boxes outside unless I could pot everything inside that housing with paraffin wax) This requires a reasonable amount of soldering, and after some practice, between 2-3 hours to finish depending on how many “extras” you embed into the basic three component core. To address this I’ve come up with a new configuration that uses a screw-terminal expansion shield originally intended for the Nano. I’ve lost SD cards from this half way through a long term test, and I’ve also run into issues with noise & resistance from those tiny breadboard contacts. I can whip up a breadboard combo in about twenty minutes, but they stop working if I bump one of the wires loose.
If you need a logger with a rugged waterproof housing, it’s still hard to beat the crimped-jumpers build released in 2016. However sometimes I just want a quick bare-bones unit for bookshelf test runs while I shake down a new sensor. If the stacking shown in this tutorial looks a bit too complicated for your skill level, take a look at the EDU version from 2019where all the parts are flattened out into a pre-made box. This configuration sleeps at 0.20 mA or less if you use an Arduino with an MCP1700 series regulator, so a 4xAA battery pack like the one shown should be good for more than a year. I will be using here a popular device based on CH341A, the black MiniProgrammer, to program an Arduino Pro Mini compatible board.This is a build variation of the basic 3-Module logger described in the Cave Pearl Data Logger paper at Sensors.

However, by setting a jumper, it works as an usual USB to serial adapter. The power pins on the CH340 USB breakout board are used with jumpers to select voltage levels (3.3V or 5V).ĬH341A is a complex interface chip which adds parallel, I2C or SPI interface. It can be found at the core of the cheapest USB serial adapters, but these dongles are difficult to connect to Arduino because there is no power pin and no exposed DTR pin. It requires serial data pins RxD and TxD and also DTR, which is connected to reset pin.ĬH340 is another USB serial interface. ATmega MCU doesn't need all serial port pins. There are many choices here, and the Arduino Pro Mini has a pinheader port that matches the pinout of FTDI USB serial breakout boards. To program it, you need an USB to serial TTL converter.
