Omron Sensor Evaluation Board Giveaway

I would want to have a number of these sensors in my HVAC system to measure its efficiency. For heating, I’d want to measure the exhaust temperature vs temperature at each of the room vents as wells as the volumetric flow and humidity. That would let me see the overall efficiency and operating status of the system as well as detect combustion products in the breathable air. It would also monitor the status of the filters by measuring air pressures. Plus, I’d also have home intrusion detection by using the accelerometer sensor. I’d use the light detector to vary the system programming depending if the sun was shining directly on the home.

I want to make an environmental station to detect forest fires and send an alert notification to the forest guard to be able to reduce the amount of forest land consumed by fires

I want the sensor to monitor performance of air-conditioner and hence control power consumption .The microphone analyzes the surrounding ambient sounds for human beings and use the information to control air-conditioner. Also intrusion alert by analyzing ambient sounds.

i would like to use this to make an IoT enabled industrial cold room monitoring system with alerts for thresholds. Many of things stored in cold rooms/ refrigerators an Internet connected monitoring system will help this kind of sectors to improve quality of storage and product

This is cool. Much easier to use. I have some locations that need environmental monitoring to make sure the indoor air temp doesn’t drop below freezing, ensure the humidity stays in a reasonable range, and determine if a light has been left on.

The product will be the heart of a solar based application, which functions as a weather station.

Hi, i would use this to create a temperature, humidity sensor to control an air échanger, that would control fresh air on a timed bassis

I’d like to get the (2JCIE-EV01-FT1) to use with an ESP32 Feather to implement a predictive maintenance solution for my HVAC system using TinyML.  I would use the internal sensors plus add a Flow sensor and additional remote temperature sensors for zone monitoring.

Now a days the plant growth are more comfort with the shade nets used in most of the horticulture colonies, nurseries etc to develop the fruitful vegetable, flower, fruit plants. The sheds are used to protect the plants from the leaf eating by insects. The plants are damaged due to the different natural environmental conditions so we need to design artificial conditions to protect them for short span of time. Farmers are visiting to agricultural institutes to find the solution for the issues So I am planing to design smart horticulture shed in an innovative way to help the farmers to protect their plants by watering, flew-away birds, tiny creatures, protecting the shed from the disasters this kind of issues are common in entire globe facing by farmers.
The giveaway is providing an important “Omron Sensor Evaluation Board 2JCIE-EV” to quickly scale and prototype for my innovative design. This roadtest is giving me a chance to utilize the combine hardware for my innovation idea to propose a project to design an “Smart horticulture shed for farmers” with the tiny Arduino and Omron sensor kits.

Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 module can be communicated to the mobile devices and can access the data or control the accessories remotely using the wireless connectivity and Blynk mobile app. Its GPIO pins are used to communicate with the sensor using I2C , SPI or I2S protocol and it had digital and analog pins to interface additional components. Omron Sensor Evaluation kit has SIX on-board sensors to sense the environmental conditions so the giveaway kit drawn my attention to use them in my next project to sense the horticulture in-door environment and to generate the suitable environment for the plants to growth healthy and produce good yields.

In present project, I would like to use Omron Sensor Evaluation Board 2JCIE-EV and Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 to sense the environment parameters and ON the water sprinklers/drippers and MEMS microphone sense the birds or creatures presence and enable the buzzer to beep the sound to flew-away the birds.

The Omron on-board Temperature/humidity sensor (SHT30-DIS-B) is an I2C sensor to monitor the in-door temperature and humidity of the horticulture shed which are important parameter helpful for the plant growth to give good yields if these conditions are above then the higher threshold then proper water spraying and air circulation fans are Switched ON, if the sensor sense the lower threshold then the additional appliances are Switched OFF.

Ambient light Sensor (OPT3001DNP) is a I2C sensor used to sense the ambient light conditions in the in-side of the shed which is very important to supply suitable light for the plant growth, if the out-door light is dull then artificial lights can be Switched ON to supply the light so that plant receive sufficient light to develop flowers and fruits.

MEMS digital baraometric pressure Sensor (2SMPB-02E) is an I2C sensor used to sense the environment pressure of the shed, if the shed is not maintained at suitable pressure then the plant doesn’t sustain because temperature and humidity cannot maintain constantly.

MEMS microphone (SPH0645LM4H-B) is an I2S sound bus device use to monitor the birds chirping and animals sounds when they are approaching closer to shed buzzers are beeped to disturb from feed.

MEMS digital motion sensor (LIS2DW12) is an SPI sensor used to monitor the shed motion due to high wind blow, if the winds are high then shed should open to make free flow of air instead of damaging the shed.

RGB LED is used to indicate the threshold level of the sensor to alert or warn the user from safety.

Additional sensor used to interface the Omron sensor board is Air Quality Sensor (B5W-LD00101-1/-2) Highly sensitive and compact air quality sensor with 2JCIE-HARNESS-05 connector used to sense the in-door air quality to avoid the dust accumulation on the plant leaves. The dust from human or natural activities can be identified if more the quantity water sprayers are switched ON to settle down in the in-door shed.

The Arduino Digital GPIO pins are used to control the water motors, LED lighting systems, shed window opening with servo motors by auto mode or with manual mode using mobile app. These are the advantageous options in the present project to protect the horticulture shed and the plants. With current giveaway kit I would like to sense the in-door environment of the shed and control the motors remotely. If I am the successor then the same can be suggest for the farmers who frequently visit for proper solution for the technical issues.

I would like to test the performance of the giveaway hardware and is used to sense any environment conditions in industries, mining, crowed halls etc by my application area is in agriculture so I would like my design system to work effective and useful for the farmers.

probs this Arduino (2JCIE-EV01-AR1), do my darth vader clock can be improved. I want to add a light saber to its screen

I am working on factory automation project, where I have to collect the environmental data and vibration data for preventive maintenance. These collected data will fed into AI modal training. I think the 2JCIE-EV01-AR1 (Arduino) is the great choice for data collection and later inference.

I am working on a project on collecting sensordata in potato filelds for trying to minimize the destruction of certain insect pests in those filelds.The 2JDIE-EV01-AR1 Arduino would fit my prosject perfect with ESP-32

I am planning a project with multiple sensor board  2JCIE-EV01-AR1(Arduino) with MKR WiFi 1010 for use in bee hives as a IoT project.I will also be using other Omron sensors for this project.

Need to measure acceleration of a 3 Axis robotic fluid dispenser. Also need to control the temperature of the fluid being dispensed by using a resistive heating element and RTD temp sensor, with a PID control.

I would build an environmental monitoring system to improve health for workers, while working at home for extended periods of time.

HVAC control

I would build an environmental monitoring system for my Libraries archive materials - I am a board member). I can do a better job much cheaper than the $750 dollars per we were quoted.

My project would be an automated system for an existing project of a roof swamp cooler.  Right now, I have an experimental system mounted on my roof to mist water onto the roof to reduce the roof’s temperature through evaporative cooling, thus reducing the cooling load on the HVAC system.  The system is currently on a timer to mist the roof a couple times during the hottest part of the day.  With an arduino, a couple temperature sensors (one for the air, one for the roof), humidity sensor, light sensor, and pressure sensor, this system could be automated to only use water when conditions are favorable.  No more wetting the roof in the rain or on an overcast day when they efficiency of the system is at its worst.

I’m designing an environmental control system for our green houses. This might just be what I’m looking for.

I am looking at the RP type (for Pi) to monitor my remote RV which is 600 miles away. My Pi will be connected to a 24/7 public WiFi which will send the data back to my network where it will be monitored.

I would like to build a portable environmental recording device for IoT applications. Specifically targeting agricultural applications where time measurement and analysis of Temperature, Humidity and light is related to digital time lapse photography of plants and their growth progress and crop yielding under particular environments. Initially, this would be conducted in a Greenhouse using Tomato Plants.

Remote monitoring of a curing chamber

I would evaluate remote environmental sensing using a Raspberry Pi 4 in an industrial setting.

Really simple and funny project, Create the PID loop for my espresso machine. replace the temperature switch by a thermocouple. Add a small monitor and set points. I’ll put videos on youtube of the project if I’m awarded a controller. 2JCIE-EV01-AR1

I want to make a “sensor” for fishermen. It will notify the owner when there are ideal conditions to fish. It is a pretty simple combination of sensors like air pressure and humidity, plus custom software to analyze the change of sensors’ values. It can be done on Pi or Arduino, but I would prefer to do it on Pi, because I want to have a bunch of useful utilities like this in one place with code nicely separated. So Arduino is not the best choice.

Application is Physical Security

I want to make a better weather station using the 2JCIE-EV01-RP1

Would l love to build a system that would be able to use the light convergent reflective sensor to switch lights and an off while entering/leaving a room. Also collecting real time temperature, humidity and air quality data would be of great interest to me - as sometimes the reported temps vary across regions. Would be great to have that more specific data to know really whether I should go out and water the grass or whether it’s too muggy to go out for a run. Like jblank said as well, would be great to have one of these in my basement as well to detect any gas leaks with the air quality sensor.

Build a home security system

This would be very interesting to monitor various production equipment running 24/7 to detect changes before major problems occur.

going to improve my weather station / logger with these sensors.

Accelerometer and noise sensors to monitor CNC machines

Measure the temperature and humidity inside of an equipment control cabinet.

The RP1 would suit a project we have under way now.

I would want to get the Arduino compatible board. I want to monitor the garage for humidity, light, noise, and temperature. I have a Hybrid Hot Water Heater and AC unit in the garage. If the garage falls below a certain temp I want to be able to trigger Hybrid mode on the water heater, while above that temp use the heat pump. This saves money. Same approach for humidity and temp for the AC unit, saving money over when to run the unit. Noise sensing is for security. Light is to detect when the day mode should be on versus night for certian functions.

I would have an unlimited use for these!  I maintain and service the BAS Corporate facilities, Data Centers, Data Labs and logistics centers for a very large, but very forward thinking, global Tech Service and Tech Supply Chain company…  although they have a very modern BAS system to monitor, log and notify of changing environments, they absolutely love ideas like this that can be deployed quickly and costly to select, targeted areas vs the expensive, time consuming adding of wiring and sensors to the main BAS!  I would undoubtedly use the temperature, humidity and noise sensors EVERYWHERE but can think of several applications where all of the sensors above could be used with great benefit!  Awesome product!

I’ll use the sensor to monitor noise and correlate to the ambient conditions.  Another application is storage locker ambient condition detection and alert if too hot, cold, if door is open based on light input, etc.

I intend on using the feather format sensor evaluation board for an aid in measuring air quality with a different air quality sensor, but in a very small factor.  The intent is to use as a keychain like device that will be used by parents who will be sending their kids to college campus dorm rooms.  By the time the Covid-19 Pandemic is in a decline and will start letting students back into the college/university campuses, the dorm rooms may have been refurbished (painted, new walls, new carpets…) and may not be initially safe to use. This device would need to be low cost, very portable (using a keychain like form factor), and easy to use.  I plan on designing it with low cost parts. Part of the intent is to measure the temperature, humidity, light sensing factors along with an air quality sensor.  Powering this device has to be a 2032 type replaceable battery, no rechargeable cell would be required.  I will be using a 3D printable case, in a very simple style.  In order to get to this design, I want to prototype the design.

I want to apply it to a smart farming project to monitor temperature, humidity, light and pressure. This would let me assure that everything is working as it should, while I am not present, by monitoring from a cellphone or computer. It will monitor that the temperature, humidity and light intensity is on the acceptable parameters.

It is a good tool that helps in our job.

My goal is to create a recreational environmental data logger to be used during extend wilderness adventures.

interested in building a vibration frequency detector

The sensors will be a perfect combination and add on to my wireless/WiFi thermostat.
Of course i have sensors on the thermostat board for tem, pressure, humidity, but this is more complex and it will detect human presence or not and put system in stand by and save a pot of energy.

Looks like very powerful and interesting board

These sensors will help me in studying my course taking Network Telco Engineering. We are going to use temperature sensors and other sensors in the coming days. I’m struggling to purchase due to a lack of money.  I hope I can get one. Thank you.

I’d like to monitor an indoor growing chamber for temperature and humidity

As an engineer for a major HVAC manufacturer I could see this as a health monitoring system.  Faults or warnings could be generated based on acoustic noise level and excessive vibration.  Panel temperature and operating humidity level are also critical parameters.  A light beam apparatus could be set up to shut the system down if the panel door is opened, but service people trained how to defeat.

I am looking forward to the Eval Board based on Omron’s class-leading quality & performance over the years. Omron’s reliability leaves no room for second thoughts! Thanks very much, Ed.

I’d like to use the light sensor to characterize the flicker in different LED Bulbs.

I plan to use the board to monitor conditions in the Kenneth Norris Center for Natural History at University of California, Santa Cruz (I am a professor there.) Preserved plants and animals require a relatively narrow range of conditions in order to keep from disintegrating. We will use the Omron sensor board to monitor temperature, humidity, light and pressure within the storage cabinets so that we know conditions in the storage units are suitable for the specimens. If the sensor board works well, we will likely purchase several to create a small network for the Natural History Museum. We can work with any of the three versions. Thanks!

I want to use it to monitor growing conditions in my Cannabis greenhouse operation, as well as my vegetable growing operation. It would provide the tools to monitor growing conditions provide some security against animals entering and allow me to record data day to day.

Given the California wildfires have affected my area multiple times in the past several years, I’d like to use this board with air quality sensors both to work on automatically shutting off some of the air circulation systems so that when the outside air is worse than the indoor air, I won’t contaminate the upper floors of my townhome. In addition to that, I’d like to have a benchmarking device to find out how well my air purifiers work; maybe even use it as the controller.

I want to use the sensors with several instruments that I am building for data acquisition.

These boards would be a great way to monitor industrial processes and environmental conditions. Looks like I could use the SPI or I2C bus along with RPi/Arduino/Feather for cloud based monitoring. Should also be able to interface with industrial programmable logic controllers.
One use I have in mind is remote monitoring of ambient Temp, RH, LUX, and db levels. Room occupancy tracking would be an added bonus.

I am entering formy hubby, so I have no idea which one he would choose

I want to make a LoRa powered node that identifies the noise pollution at different points in the city. The node will send out noise levels and notify the user if the noise level exceeds a certain threshold. A low powered device like that can be used near high noise area like rail crossings near residential neighborhoods to identify where appropriate noise cancellation action is needed. The secondary function of the same device will be a weather station that streams temperature and humidity levels and send out weather warnings when temperature or humidity thresholds are crossed.

I am developing a control board for an industrial application.  It must measure temperature, pressure, flow, currents, voltage, liquid volume, liquid purity, and gas presence.  It also must control contactors, pumps, solenoids, balance loads, displays, LEDs, Power supply outputs, and cooling systems.  I will be using a 3.3 volt microprocessor.

I help develop platforms and tools for the clean energy industry. Currently we are prototyping robots that will clean solar panels autonomously to large manufacturing assets designed to lower the production costs of solar panels. We have already deployed several sensor platforms and need more. Dependability, ability to withstand severe elements, accuracy,  and the ability to adapt to our sometimes demanding supply chain needs.. this is what I need. Thanks

This project would need smart monitoring of the air pressure inside the box, CO2 content, moisture level in air, light intensity (to compensate when sunlight is absent), air flow into the container through pump and water flow into the soil.
With this particular evaluation board, it would become very easy to monitor all these sensors.

RV “life support” sensor pack! 😉

I teach a class at UNH in introductory electronic system design. The students come up with solutions to problems and then implement them using Raspberry Pis, sensors, actuators, etc. A collection of sensors on a easy to access board would make it possible for more students to think outside the box and invent better things.

With Raspberry Pi (2JCIE-EV01-RP1) planning to control air flow, humidity, ... for a 3D printer enclosure. Thanks

I want to develop software and integrate this evaluation board into a system to control and monitor the space between our solar panels and the living space of the house. The goal is to make sure the conditions are within normal operating min/max values. Excessive temperatures/humidity/pressure, (high/low), excessive noise levels (as compared to a baseline), and unusual vibration levels will trigger an alarm to alert the home owner. A connected air quality sensor would also monitor and report on the area’s air safety for living humans and animals. The results will be available on a dedicated web page and accessed also using Amazon Alexa.

I would use the onboard temperature, humidity, and ambient light sensors, as well as compatible air quality, flow sensor, and potentially other sensors to creat a system to monitor and adjust the conditions of a small, self contained hydroponics system.  This would allow for a personal sized, automated growing system to enable the average non-technical person to easily maintain their own food production system, reducing dependency on expensive and environmentally unsustainable large scale farming operations.

I want to make smart greenhouse controller. I would like to tonk it with my RPi.

I will develop IAQD that records and collects temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and a total volatile organic compound to monitor room in real-time. Then the data could be the basis for further treatment and/or practices to improve sterilization in the cleanroom. IAQD technology is based on the Internet of Things (IoT) integrated with smart sensors able to collect data for monitoring every day in the hospital and schoolroom. The duration of monitoring could be set as well as the monitoring results are also directly connected and actually recorded on the cloud database. IoT technology updates information on carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds in real-time. The core of technology in this project is now applying sensors through IoT to monitor physical quantities affect the air quality, what is the relationship between environmental condition inside the room like working space, hospital room, and school.

“Giveaway” and “chance to win one of three boards” are two different things. Which one is it?

If the “giveaway” is just a stupid click-bait - please delete my account and remove me from all e-mail subscriptions

The concentration with the new era of healthcare in the Medical Internet of Things(MIoT) according to preventive and predication. From a large scale and general perspective, the effective parameters from behavioural, ambient, and physiological domains as the most influencing fields of interest in healthcare must be monitored. In personalized healthcare monitoring, wearables are playing an important role in terms of data measurement and collection. This work aims to create a configurable and adaptable platform for comprehensive parameters monitoring, according to the convenient mode of wearability. The ambient and physiological domain parameters like Temperature, Humidity, Light, Pressure, Noise and Acceleration parameters are measured and the parameters are being monitored in real-time through a cloud environment. With the help of the Raspberry Pi IoT gateway, the measured values are uploaded to the cloud. These parameters will give the condition of environmental factors and this measurement will be very helpful to the patient who suffered from airborne diseases and asthma-like diseases. This sensor evaluation board(2JCIE-EV01-RP1) will be used to connect all sensors mentioned above in a flexible manner. Depending on the target investigation, the status of patients, requirements, and demands, medics can determine the setup parameters for measurement monitored eventually. Thus, the application of this platform is not limited to specific groups, but widely may be applied whether in daily routine or medical research investigation. Under the flexible IoT gateway, the new wearables can readily be integrated and synchronized into the platform.
