• together with Kon-Hyong Kim and Muhammad Hafiz Wan Rosli
• 7th of May | 3 - 9 PM | Time's Up | Industriezeile 33b | 4020 Linz

Join Kon-Hyong Kim and Muhammad Hafiz Wan Rosli for their introduction and implementation of the SINUNI sensor-system, currently under development by the Arctic Perspective Initiative (API) and the SYSTEMICS lab at the University of California in Santa Barbara.

Please register by sending an e-mail to info@timesup.org - limited number of participants For more information look: http://timesup.org/sinuni

The workshop will comprise the presentation of the SINUNI architecture and a hands on section, including the implementation of the network and its solutions in the context of the Time’s Up gardening endeavours - in particular the Non-Green-Gardening project by Natalia Borissova.

In 2010 and 2011 API developed and experimentally deployed a robust open hardware sensor network and communication system, the SILAMILU NUNAMULU NIPILIURUTI in short sinuni.

The SINUNI is an extremely low power, compact, modular and waterproof portable computing and recording family of devices, based on the Arduino architectures, implementing a true mesh networking capability through low power radio and precise geo-location. Its modular sensor architecture records basic meteorological, position and movement data, but it can be outfitted with an array of sensors as diverse as water turbidity, temperature, salinity and p.e. light quality and structure measurements. The open standards used in the software and hardware development ensure that the system can be built, modified and replicated. The units will also enable geo-located audio recording and wildlife observations and note taking through a simple, robust and intuitive interface.

SINUNI will serve as a sensor device of choice for recording field work data and travels and versions of it can be implemented at fixed locations, for instance to monitor soil and nutrients conditions in the RESILIENT gardens like the Non-Green-Garden at the Time's Up Labs.

Starting with remote presentation from Marko via skype. Skype breakup!

Mesh networks. Autonomous systems. Central collection point in the mesh. Travelling nodes can collect data and pass it on. So isolated nodes can be integrated and then collected with e.g. autonomous vehicles. Quick arduino introduction. Vegetronics soil temperature and moisture.
