Advances in gas sensors and open-source hardware are enabling new options for low-cost and light-weight gas sampling devices that are also robust and easy to use and construct. Although the number of studies investigating these sensors has been increasing in the last few years, they are still scarce with respect to agricultural applications. Here, we present a complete system for high-accuracy measurements of temperature, relative humidity, luminosity, and CO concentrations. The sensors suite is integrated on the previously developed HyperRail device (Lopez Alcala et al., 2019) - a reliable, accurate, and affordable linear motion control system. All measurements are logged with a location and time-stamp. The system was assembled from only off-the-shelf or 3D printable products. We deployed the system in an agricultural greenhouse to demonstrate the system capabilities.
气体传感器和开源硬件的进步为低成本、轻量级的气体采样设备带来了新的选择，这些设备坚固耐用且易于使用和构建。尽管在过去几年中研究这些传感器的研究数量一直在增加，但在农业应用方面仍然很少。在这里，我们展示了一个用于高精度测量温度、相对湿度、光照度和一氧化碳浓度的完整系统。该传感器套件集成在先前开发的HyperRail设备上（洛佩兹·阿尔卡拉等人，2019年）——一个可靠、准确且经济实惠的线性运动控制系统。所有测量值都带有位置和时间戳进行记录。该系统仅由现成产品或3D可打印产品组装而成。我们将该系统部署在一个农业温室中以展示其功能。
