This the sensor we are going to build in this exercise.
We will need the following hardwares:
A Particle Argon(Can be bought here)
USB Data Cable
Fluxteq Heatflux Sensor (Can be bought here)
24 Bit ADC ADS1220 (Can be bought here)
Jumper Wires (Can be bought here)
Breadboard (Can be bought here)
Soldering Kit (Can be bought here)
Laptop or Computer
Connect the Argon and ADC Sensor onto the breadboard as shown in the figures.
Connect the ADC as follows.
ADC(ADS1220) <---> Argon DRDY <---> D6 MISO <---> MI/D11 MOSI <---> MO/D12 SCLK <---> SCK/D13 CS <---> D5 DVDD <---> 3V3 DGND <---> Gnd Heatflux <---> ADC(ADS1220) Heatflux red <--------> AN0 Heatflux white <------> AN1 thermocouple blue <---> AN2 thermocouple red <---> AN3
Refer to to register the Argon Device with our Particle account.
Flash the script ‘STAPI_1_ADC_ADS1220_FLUXTEQ_HEATFLUX’ to the Argon. Fill in the mandatory parameters accordingly. You can choose to leave the optional parameters to their default values.
