Abstract
This study presents a sensor box designed to conduct scientific research and to motivate other young students in a chemistry university environment to learn about sensors and their usefulness. The main focus of this study is on the usability and designs of this particular sensor box that we developed using accessible components: a Raspberry Pi 5, an Arduino Uno, and DFRobot's Pro sensors for temperature, conductivity and pH measurements along with developing the necessary software to conduct these measurements in the most convenient way, which includes creating a GUI, a data saving script, and automating the measurement process. To test the functionality of this sensor box, we utilized it to monitor hydroxyapatite (HAP) formation reaction to observe the changes in conductivity and pH throughout the process.
本研究提出了一个传感器盒,旨在进行科学研究,并激励其他年轻学生在化学大学的环境中了解传感器及其用途。本研究的主要重点是我们使用可访问组件开发的这个特定传感器盒的可用性和设计:Raspberry Pi 5, Arduino Uno和DFRobot的Pro传感器,用于温度,电导率和pH测量,以及开发必要的软件以最方便的方式进行这些测量,其中包括创建GUI,数据保存脚本和自动化测量过程。为了测试该传感器盒的功能,我们利用它来监测羟基磷灰石(HAP)形成反应,观察整个过程中电导率和pH值的变化。
期刊介绍:
Computer Applications in Engineering Education provides a forum for publishing peer-reviewed timely information on the innovative uses of computers, Internet, and software tools in engineering education. Besides new courses and software tools, the CAE journal covers areas that support the integration of technology-based modules in the engineering curriculum and promotes discussion of the assessment and dissemination issues associated with these new implementation methods.
