ABSTRACTPremise of the study: Environmentally controlled facilities, such as growth chambers, are essential tools for experimental research. Automated remote monitoring of such facilities with low-cost hardware can greatly improve both the reproducibility and the accurate maintenance of their conditions.Methods and Results: Using a Raspberry Pi computer, open-source software, environmental sensors, and a camera, we developed a cost-effective system for monitoring growth chamber conditions, which we have called ‘GMpi.’ Coupled with our software, GMpi_Pack, our setup automates sensor readings, photography, alerts when conditions fall out of range, and data transfer to cloud storage services.Conclusions: The GMpi offers low-cost access to environmental data logging, improving reproducibility of experiments, as well as reinforcing the stability of controlled environmental facilities. The device is also flexible and scalable, allowing customization and expansion to include other features such as machine vision.

In remote locations where people are required to live, such as weather stations in mountain areas, astronomical observatories etc., it is necessary to provide electricity for the operation of equipment and for domestic needs. The optimal solution is the use of photovoltaic energy. Owners of solar systems can remotely monitor the operation of the photovoltaic plant via the Internet (LTE, LoRa). The operating parameters of the solar installation can be seen in real time or can be adjusted. The article presents theoretical aspects, the hardware structure of monitoring equipment and remote monitoring software, which allow the analysis of the production and efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) installation.

ECG (electrocardiogram) is a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart by applying electrical impulses. The information obtained from an ECG can be analyzed to discover different types of heart diseases. It is useful to monitor a patient’s respond to a specific treatment. Some patients may need to move around while still being monitored by an ECG. Hence, it is important to have a mobile ECG solution. Building a stable and reliable mobile ECG solution needs huge investment especially if all main components are built from scratch. This research proposes to build the mobile ECG solution using available main components from the shelf. Bluetooth is used instead of USB in order to provide future flexibility to add more electrodes. In order to reduce the size, development cost, and time, Smartphone is used as the host PC. Present Smartphone have sufficient resources to provide the necessary data logging, HMI and remote monitoring. Keywords: ECG, Smartphone, Bluetooth, HMI

Power Factor Improvement

<span>Nowadays, many residential and commercial buildings that used electricity needs to take care the power factor to avoid penalty from the utility companies. A power factor that is close to one provides a good indicator for the overall power quality. Therefore, power factor improvement plays a significant role to reduce electricity consumption and more efficient system operation. In this paper, the design of power factor meter using Internet of Things will be discussed. Voltage and current sensors outputs were interfaced to Arduino, in which the real power and apparent power were calculated to determine the power factor. Results showed the effectiveness of our proposed device in measuring power factor. Moreover, the measured data points were logged in an SD card and can be accessed by computer with Matlab graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, IoT framework analysis for smart meter which can provide power factor improvement, remote monitoring, and data logging was further discussed in this paper.</span>

The technical improvement in Power electronics and Control system industries has made the linear consumer loads to dominate by sensitive and sophisticated non-linear consumer loads. These have a major impact on the power systems, causing increase in harmonics distortion. This paper proposes a hardware design to develop a Harmonic Analyzer along with Arduino ATMEGA 328P, that can be able to analyze up to 15th harmonic of an alternating current power supply. The Harmonic analyzer has been developed considering the cost, accomplished with respect to accuracy, easy modifications through coding, remote monitoring and data logging. The developed low cost handheld product may be used for industrial as well as commercial applications.

Research Equipment

With the increasing cost of prepackaged research equipment and restrictions on research budgets, there is a growing need for inexpensive solutions for data collection in laboratory and small enclosures across a range of research topics investigating responses of animals to experimental parameters. We present here a low-cost, modular passive infrared sensor and data-logging system for use in experiments evaluating animal activity and behaviour, easily assembled in a laboratory setting. This system comprises accessible kit-based components purchased from popular electronics suppliers. We present the hardware configuration, software coding, build of materials, circuit diagram and a sample dataset demonstrating that the system collects reliable data that is easily downloaded either through any terminal program, directly from the unit or via an SD card. It is hoped that this ‘freeware’ approach to activity-monitoring equipment will enable laboratory and enclosure-based research to be undertaken more cost-effectively.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.
