Abstract:
Measurement systems are used in every scientific and technological process to measure and monitor a number of magnitudes. During last years, open source technology and, concretely, open source hardware devices are being introduced in different R&D projects due to their advantages of low cost, easy development, shared information in the Internet and so on. Arduino microcontroller is the most illustrative example of this kind of devices. This paper presents a measurement system based on Arduino board to perform biogas sensing. A set of sensors are responsible of measuring the gases that compose the biogas (hydrogen, methane, ammonia and carbon monoxide) and the results are displayed to the user via a small graphical monitoring interface. The development of the system is reported and initial results are provided to demonstrate the suitability of the microcontroller.
