Why did we develop this module?

DFRobot has provided users with hundreds of sensors of all kinds. However, many of them output raw electrical signals like current, voltage, etc., and for obtaining standard units of physical quantities, users need to look for relevant information in the product datasheets and convert data by formulas or coding. Meanwhile, the data format varies with different sensors, so most sensors require unique controlling programs. These would raise the bar for using sensors. Therefore, DFRobot develops this Gravity: SCI DAQ module that allows users to get sensor data in a simpler way.

What is Gravity: SCI DAQ Module?

The Gravity: SCI DAQ module is a multi-functional data acquisition module. At present, it supports 20 kinds of common sensors such as temperature & humidity, barometric pressure, etc. The module integrates functions like data display, sensor auto recognition, data storage, RTC clock, and data optimisation, which could be ideal for exploratory experiments. Users can direct view of sensor data through the onboard screen.

Besides, the module features 16M storage for saving data in real-time. And the built-in RTC clock can offer accurate time tags for every piece of data to be stored. Also, the SCI DAQ module standardizes the output data format, which means users can get sensor data with the same program on controllers like Arduino UNO, or UNIHIKER regardless of which sensor is being used.
The module significantly reduces the difficulty of getting sensor data, which allows users to more focus on data analysis and helps STEAM teachers conveniently implement interdisciplinary teachings.
