» SC 05: Crack Sensor Reading
In this example the Smart Cities sensor board is turned on and the crack sensor read every three seconds approximately, printing the result through the USB port.
Required Materials
1 x Waspmote
1 x Battery
1 x Smart Cities board
1 x Linear Displacement sensor (SLS095)
Notes
* Remember to connect the battery to Waspmote for proper operation.
* The connection of the sensor is described in the Smart Cities technical guide.
* This example can only be executed in Waspmote v12
