Anatomy :


Your Minilog consists of three temperature probes, a luminosity sensor, a photovoltaic panel which powers a battery linked to a micro-controller with a wifi antenna and a flash memory. On the side, a button allows you to switch to direct wifi mode.
The Minilog can record the temperatures and the light level then send the data to a server via wifi. A web application allows data to be viewed from any device with internet access. The battery of the Minilog is charged by the solar panel or via the micro-USB port with a mobile phone charger (not supplied). The URL and QR code on the back points to the web application on which to consult the data, just scan this code or write the url in your browser to access it. There is no app to download.
