Very nice, I was about to design a project with each of these modules individually hooked up on a I2C multiplier. This makes it so much easier. Great video 👍
That looks like a good board at a great price. I've been wanting to do a project like this but did not want to spend, almost, twice as much on the sensors already out there. Thanks for showcasing it.
Looking forward to hear more about you can do with this. Sounds great! Just what I'm looking for right now to monitor my workshop environment, especially the reading on particules and maybe increase the ventilation before breathing too much dust. Staying tune for that.
This is what I was thinking as a gift for my dad. Need a couple of load cells with breakouts & amps too. Was thinking of trying to run some ML inference using this with a jets on nano.
I am VERY interested in this board! I made my own T/H/P (BME280) and light (TSL2561) plus small 3d printed enclosure and wemos d1 to upload to TS. This board includes even more with small footprint. Thanks for letting me know about this! Personally love these kind of boards over the 9 DOF/accelerometer types as I'm not as interested in robotics, as least as far as building them.
Hm. Sounds interesting, but I'm a bit worried about the layout. Placing the sensors this close and without any (visible?) electrical and thermal separation sounds like a big invitation for noise and inaccuracies.
It really needs a barometer, too, even though it seems to be geared to indoor environmental health quality analysis. The barometer is needful for those of us that have pain issues and want to track pressure verses pain verses medication use.
Well at least this device is an interesting concept. At best it can be used as a toy to experiment with. If It cant survive an industrial or automotive environment what real use is it? Sensors need to be robust. They should reconsider their design. I guess if the manufacturer's objective is a limited target audience and they are not looking to have this device in production for the long term then the design is fine. As an EE you must recognize the predictable and limited uses for real world applications. At least an Arduino or a Atml 328 on a circuit board can be placed in an environmentally protected enclosure. Other than that it's a good video. You did your part.
Great video and info as usual my friend! Keep them coming I look forward to your content! So you say this is on kick starter? Can I buy it now? Sorry but don't know how kick starter works, I'm a older guy and never looked into kick starter.
The Kickstarter page (www.kickstarter.com/projects/metriful/sense-indoor-environment-monitor) shows that it's over, it ended just a few days ago. The link in the description will be a shop page 'soon'. The Kickstarter basic package cost was 32 Pounds for one board. Usually it will sell for a higher price once a store is set up; the price may then fall if sales are good. This project usefully combines many sensors, but everything is off-the-shelf and there's no true innovation; I think the price is quite high, YMMV.
You can do a pre-order now. Kinda like being an investor, then you get the item at a lower price. Once they reach their goal, they will sell them outright.
Not all things that are possible make sense. This neat little sensor would probably make more sense hooked up to an ESP32 or 8266 and Node-Red dashboard. If you set up a dedicated Pi, with all that number-crunching potential, to deal with just this sensor, it has to be physically no further than 1 metre from the sensor because of I2C limitations. That is too expensive and a waste of the Pi's capabilities. And most of us have already got an existing WIFI network anyway. For remote sensing, the Pi would be severe overkill. So if the choice is between an ESP32 at about $7 apiece and a Pi in excess of $35! I know what my choice would be!
Always amazed by how compact these sensors are getting. Would love to see a test run on the R-pi.
Looks like a great little board. I'd like to see more of it - perhaps on the R-pi. Thanks for posting.

Wow....nice tool! Thanks for the look, Paul!
Definitely interested in seeing more about that. Looks like a really useful board.

Subbed to your channel last night as I am just getting back into arduino and I like your videos.
Awesome, thank you!
Perfect for my beehive monitoring project!

Nice, it would be great to see it with the Raspberry Pi. Thanks for the heads up.
Looks nice. I'm thinking and outdoor version should be forthcoming.
Very cool. Build a Star Trek Tricorder with that module.
Stay healthy Paul.
@Michael Bishop
Fantastic.
I got the D1 mini, sounds like a great project for them
That would work great!

Nice board, but what do we do with the info now that we have it.
It really needs a barometer, too, even though it seems to be geared to indoor environmental health quality analysis. The barometer is needful for those of us that have pain issues and want to track pressure verses pain verses medication use.
It has one. Showed pressure in pascal's.
All of the sensors are available.
Very nice

@@learnelectronics great! Thank you I appreciate you clarifying that for me. Have a great day! 👍
I cannot find this sensor anywhere. The web page was not accepting contact.
Maybe they are gone?
@@learnelectronics The company states since there was a shortage of the needed items. They are no longer making them.
Very cool!
Thank You
That Would Be C@@L For My Green Houses!? Thanks
It's too warm in your shop 😁
lol I know

Captain Pugwash I’ve been successfully using a BME280 15 feet away from a Wemos D1 mini. Used an old 4 wire telephone wire.
Will it make any sense out of my mental environment? Ha.
Might tell you how many particles are floating around up there :)
@@learnelectronics I don't know, I belive it's a fairly sterile environment up there, basically just a empy expanse! Ha-ha,
