A few years ago I presented a project in which a Raspberry Pi was working as a data logger. A few sensors were connected to this Raspberry, which recorded environmental data such as air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure and the current GPS position. The sensors mostly consisted of ready-made breakout boards that were connected to the RaspberryPi via the various buses (I\u00b2C, Serial, SPI …). Python scripts ran on the PI itself, which read out the sensors, summarized the data and stored it on a USB flash memory. I then built this hodgepodge of components into a plastic box with a size of 150x80x50mm.<\/p>\n

But it’s also about a lot smaller. As part of a small project, the task was to downsize this sensor \/ data logger. My approach to realizing this was very simple: „Everything new“. So I changed the concept like this:<\/p>\n
