Basic Stamp Multi Sensor Data Logging

June 28, 2013 Patrick Gilfeather

Abstract of Winter 2013 paper: The Multi Sensor Logger was used to monitor and store the environmental conditions of a bicycle trailer. The system usage requirements are, but not limited to: Reliability in a high vibration environment. Resistance or protection from temperature and moisture. Stabilized mounting of hardware to mobile platform. Ease of setup, operation, monitoring, and removal of system. The system is operator initiated through the use of a control switch. The system makes use of all 16 I/O…

Bicycle Speedometer SCADA using the Basic Stamp 2

June 28, 2013 Patrick Gilfeather

Abstract from Fall 2012 paper. The primary goal of this project is to us the Basic STAMP 2 to measure pulses from the reed sensor, calculate RPM, and store data into external EEPROM. Aside from the logic functions of the BS2, the entire system must be able to handle rough road travel in cold and wet conditions. The secondary goal of the project is to indicate memory use by means of a LCD, with values displayed numerically and graphically. As…
