Abstract
A modular sensor system may perform soil and water analysis at various depths. For instance, chemical composition may be determined and concentration and/or environmental parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and/or moisture, may be measured at different depths. A sensor bus head, at least one sensor rod, and a sensor bus terminus may be vertically stacked and interconnected through a bus network such that the system is modular and reconfigurable.
Claims20
A modular sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor bus head located at a top of the modular sensor system;
- a sensor bus terminus located at the bottom of the modular sensor system;
- and
- at least one sensor rod connected between the sensor bus head and the sensor bus terminus, wherein
- the at least one sensor rod is configured to determine environmental parameters of soil, water, or both, at its respective depth.
