DescriptionThe gator:log is the perfect data logging tool for your next experiment. With the automation of the data collection process, gone are the days of rushing around with a pen and composition notebook to simultaneously record data and your observations. Now, you only need to sit back and observe your experiment.The gator:log allows a student(s)to focus more on what is happening in the experiment than watching a thermometer or sensor readout. Additionally, a micro:bit can still be used to provide a graphical display for observing changes in data, when a sensor readout is required. If tied in conjunction with the gator:RTC, stop watches on time based experiments can become a thing of the past too(with the added benefit of more accurate timing results)!The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that lets you get creative with digital technology. Between the micro:bit and our shield-like bit boards you can do almost anything while coding, customizing and controlling your micro:bit from almost anywhere! You can use your micro:bit for all sorts of unique creations, from robots to musical instruments and more. At half the size of a credit card, this versatile board has vast potential!Get Started with the SparkFun gator:log Hookup GuideFeaturesATmega328P microcontrollerμSD(micro SD)card slot for μSD card for data storageTwo status indicator LEDsSerial connection via RX and TX padsGND and 3V3 pads for 3.3V power connection
DescriptionThe HM01B0 from Himax Imaging is an ultra low power CMOS Monochrome Image Sensor that enables the integration of an "Always On" camera for computer vision applications such as gestures, intelligent ambient light and proximity sensing, tracking and object identification. The sensor allows the sensor to consume very low power of <2mW at QVGA 30FPS. This low power consumption and vision applications camera comes with a ribbon cable that mates to the camera connector populated on the following products:MicroMod Machine Learning Carrier BoardArtemis Development KitEdge Development Board - Apollo3 BlueThe HM01B0 contains 320×320 pixel resolution and supports a 320×240 window mode which can be readout at a maximum frame rate of 60FPS, and a 2×2 monochrome binning mode with a maximum frame rate of 120FPS. The video data is transferred over a configurable 1bit, 4bit or 8bit interface with support for frame and line synchronization. The sensor integrates black level calibration circuit, automatic exposure and gain control loop, self-oscillator and motion detection circuit with interrupt output to reduce host computation and commands to the sensor to optimize the system power consumption.FeaturesImage SensorUltra Low Power Image Sensor(ULPIS)designed for Always On vision devices and applicationsHigh sensitivity 3.6μ BrightSenseTM pixel technology320×320 active pixel resolution with support for QVGA window, vertical flip and horizontal mirror readoutProgrammable black level calibration target, frame size, frame rate, exposure, analog gain(up to 8x)and digital gain(up to 4x)Automatic exposure and gain control loop with support for 50 / 60Hz flicker avoidanceFlexible 1bit, 4bit and 8bit video data interface with video frame and line syncMotion Detection circuit with programmable ROI and detection threshold with digital output to serve as an interruptOn-chip self oscillatorI2C 2-wire serial interface for register accessHigh CRA for low profile module designSensor ParametersActive Pixel Array 320×320Pixel Size 3.6 μm×3.6 μmFull Image Area 1152 μm×1152 μmDiagonal(Optical Format)1.63 mm(1/11″)Scan Mode:ProgressiveShutter Type:Electronic Rolling ShutterFrame Rate MAX 51 fps @ 320×320, 60 fps @ 320×240(QVGA)CRA(maximum)30℃Sensor SpecificationsSupply Voltage:Analog - 2.8 V, Digital - 1.5V(Internal LDO:1.5V - 2.8V), I/O - 1.5 - 2.8VInput Reference Clock:3 - 50 MHzSerial Interface(I2C):2-wire, 400 KHz max.Video Data Interface:1b, 4b, 8b with frame / line SYNCOutput Clock Rate MAX:50 MHz for 1bit, 12.5 MHz for 4bit, 6.25 MHz for 8bitEst.
