Sparkfun Air Velocity FS3000

This the sensor we are going to build in this exercise.

• https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/air-velocity-sensor-breakout---fs3000-hookup-guide#example-code

We will need the following hardwares:

• A Particle Argon(Can be bought here)

• USB Data Cable

• Air Velocity Sensor(Can be bought here)

• Jumper Wires (Can be bought here)

• Breadboard (Can be bought here)

• Soldering Kit (Can be bought here)

• Laptop or Computer

1. Connect the Particle device and air velocity sensor onto the breadboard as shown in the figures.
   

   • Connect the ADC as follows.

     Air Velocity <---> Argon/Photon
     GND <------------> GND
     3.3V <-----------> 3.3V
     SDA <------------> SDA/D0
     SCL <------------> SCL/D1    

2. Refer to to register the Argon Device with our Particle account.

3. Flash the script ‘STAPI_1_AIR_VEL_FS3000’ to the Particle device. Fill in the mandatory parameters accordingly. You can choose to leave the optional parameters to their default values.

   =============================
   !!! MANDATORY PARAMETERS
   ===========================
   String thingDesc = "heatflux measurement and air temperature and humidity"; //DESCRIBE THE DEPLOYMENT
   int sample_rate = 10 * 1000; // how often you want device to publish where the number in front of a thousand is the seconds you want
   #define ADS1220_CS_PIN    D5 // chip select pin
   #define ADS1220_DRDY_PIN  D6 // data ready pin
   float scalib = 1.23; //microvolt per w/m2
   *=============================================================================================================================================
   OPTIONAL PARAMETERS (if the device is already registered, these options are ignored)
   =============================================================================================================================================*/
   //Description of the location
   String foiName = "na"; //THE LOCATION NAME
   String foiDesc = "na";
   String locType = "Point"; //Define the geometry of the location. Refer to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946 for geometry types.
   String enType = "application/vnd.geo+json";
   //Define the location of the thing. If location is not impt, use [0,0,0] the null island position.
   float coordx = 0.0; //lon/x
   float coordy = 0.0; //lat/y
   float coordz = 0.0; //elv/z

4. Refer to to visualize the data on Grafana.
