Evaluation of low cost Environmental Monitoring Sensors.
Abstract
Low-cost environmental monitoring devices are an elegant solution to increasing wider
adoption of environmental monitoring devices in many fields of applications. This project
proposes a collection and analysis of data from a selection of these sensors and compare
it amongst the sensors and with existing expensive industry standard devices to assess
their reliability and accuracy. The data was collected with a designed evaluation board
and compared using modern data analysis methods. Clear deviations in performance and
consistency amongst the sensors were observed at different conditions.
