Libelium has just launched a new line of services in order to offer customizable sensor boards for the Waspmote platform. The idea is developers have their own sensor board with just the sensors needed for the specific application they are developing. A list of more than 50 combinable options includes all the sensors previously integrated [...]
Libelium has launched the First International Training Course on the Waspmote platform oriented to non-spanish developers. It will be carried out in English and will be 3 days long. The course will be held on days 23th, 24th and 25th of November in the Libelium headquarters – Zaragoza (Spain). The agenda is divided in four [...]
Ultraviolet solar radiation is involved in many biochemical processes, in the case of human beings in the production of vitamin D and melanin, but overexposure may result in highly harmful effects such as erythema, sunburn and even skin cancer. For this reason Libelium has recently integrated an Ultraviolet sensor in the Waspmote platform to control [...]
The WSN field has been recognised this year in the Sensors Expo by the hand of the wireless sensor platform Waspmote in the Data Acquisition Products category. It is the first time the organization takes into account the added value of an open source programming environment a long with a modular hardware configuration. As the [...]
The new Agriculture Sensor Board for Libelium’s award-winning Waspmote platform enables very precise irrigation and climate control for vineyards and greenhouses by monitoring up to 14 environmental parameters: air temperature air humidity soil temperature soil moisture leaf wetness atmospheric pressure solar radiation trunk/stem/fruit diameter wind speed/direction rainfall This sophisticated monitoring brings extreme precision to crop [...]
Digi International has published an article where they shows how wireless sensor networks are being used to monitor fire forests, river flooding and other phenomena which were not previously detectable in real time due to their difficult-to-access nature. Sensor networks in mountains, river banks, and in harsh environments can now be deployed using the Libelium [...]
Libelium announces a new Bluetooth module for the Waspmote wireless sensor network platform. This module enables wireless sensor networks to be directly linked to portable devices such as smart phones and laptop computers. This capability is particularly useful for medical applications and for industrial diagnostics. Additionally, when combined with the Meshlium multi-protocol router, it supports [...]
The first real deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network in order to detect forest fires has been performed in Asturias (North of Spain). The system uses Waspmote along with CO, CO2, humidity and temperature sensors included in the Gas Sensor board. 40 nodes were deployed in 2009 and 50 more will be installed in 2010. [...]
During the research of the Waspmote sensor platform, several tests were made using different kinds of transceivers according to frequency bands (2.4GHz, 868MHz and 900MHz) and transmission power (1mw, 100mW, 315mW). The tests performed in the Monegros Desert (Spain) had the purpose of testing the capabilities and limits of the 802.15.4/ZigBee radios integrated in Waspmote. [...]
Libelium will conduct another Waspmote presentation on February 4th at the the University of Zaragoza (CPS), Spain. Those interested to get a quick intro to the Waspmote platform and couldn’t attend last presentations now have a new opportunity. Registration available here. In addition to that, a public Waspmote Training Course it’s also open for registration. [...]
