FEZ Cerbuino Bee + co2 module

Archive

Hi Guys

i am creating a cheap co2 monitoring/dosage solution for my small orchid greenhouse,
and have been eyeing up the cerbino bee (as a pro .NET programmer it seems what i should be doing rather than arduino) and some modules:-

Relay Module - .NET Gadgeteer Compatible

MG811/MG-811 CO2/Carbon Dioxide Sensor Module for Arduino
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG811-MG-811-CO2-Carbon-Dioxide-Sensor-Module-for-Arduino-and-other-MCUs-/120804868793?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c208802b9

Waterproof Temp Sensor

Noob Questions:-

  • do i need a arduino sensor shield ontop of the cerbuino to hook both sensors onto the cerbuino?
  • if yes do i need custom code to read the sensors from the shield? any link to a shield with the relevent .NET code would be helpful

@ iseefishpeople - Welcome to the forums…

You dont need a shield at all, you just need to hook the sensors up directly to the relevant Analog and Digital pins which you could do on the headers.
Then it should be just a simple matter of reading the pins and then drive the relay’s for the output.

that is good news, trims a good ÂŁ15-20 from the build price, i just wasnt sure whether it was needed

the examples are great

using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using GHIElectronics.NETMF.FEZ;
using GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware;
 
namespace MFConsoleApplication1
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            AnalogIn lightSensor = new AnalogIn((AnalogIn.Pin)FEZ_Pin.AnalogIn.An3);
            lightSensor.SetLinearScale(0, 100);
 
            int lightSensorReading = 0;
            while (true)
            {
                lightSensorReading = lightSensor.Read();
                Debug.Print(lightSensorReading.ToString());
                Thread.Sleep(500);
            }
        }
 
    }
}

thanx mate ;0)

Using code tags will make your post more readable. This can be done in two ways:[ol]
Click the “101010” icon and paste your code between the

 tags or...
Select the code within your post and click the "101010" icon.[/ol]

well i can see how you got your hero status, has taken a large degree of restraint not to be very sarcastic with you however so could you stop posting this everywhere, please?

6

This kind of response is unwarranted. Code tags are very helpful and increase the chance that you will get help. Your retort will have the opposite effect.

7

Yes, code tags are needed. I personally do not read code if it is not “code tagged”

8

neither do i…

and typing this, got me an extra 10 points… LOL

help

thing is u anoyed me because i did actually press the code tag button over the code, mainly because i read your posting elsewhere it seems a poor way of improving your rating, i was actually quite polite rather than abusive

aswell
11

but clearly i pressed a different button, kill me now grin

12

now all i need is someone to tell me to stop spaming my own post bigger grin

13

i wasnt even asking for help with code i posted that as an example of how good your examples were in dealing with what i wanted, oh dear more spaming hmmmm anyways whatever it wasnt like i said

i will never used code blocks

as i clearly tried to, dont you have something more important to do, i do trust me sigh

14

there you go happy now, instead of being in a “shocking” quote block it is in a code block though i could of sworn i clicked the binary button but clealy not more spam

@ iseefishpeople - clearly, you’re in the wrong forum if you think anyone here is amused. We are here to do everything we can to help you with your FEZ problems. If you aren’t willing to put forth a tiny bit of effort to help us help you then you shouldn’t expect much in return.

7 posts in less than an hour, let’s calculate when you will become a hero…

and you clearly cant read, i pressed the quote button rather than the code button, so how is that me not putting in effort mate

why would i want hero status, i have dont have enough time to post on this all day, like the irony however, very good retort (no sarcasm) glad someone has a sense of humor grin
