Other Sensors (Temperature, Salinity, Thickness, etc)
A variety of other sensors types can be useful in a marine environment, for research and/or to measure phenomena that improve the accuracy of other sensors and vehicle control. Sensors that may be of interest include
- conductivity
- hydrophones
- O2, salinity
- pH
- sediment and water samplers
- temperature
- ultrasonic thickness gauge
Temperature Sensor
An auxiliary external temperature sensor may be added for obtaining faster and more accurate readings than those from an integrated pressure sensor. Duplicate sensors are not supported (e.g. two of the same temperature sensor at different locations on the vehicle).
ArduSub has a pre-installed driver for the following sensor type:
