Hacking the environment: Bringing biodiversity hardware into the open

New technologies are changing the way we collect biodiversity data, providing low-cost and customizable alternative to expensive proprietary data loggers and sensors. A new article describes the construction of a data-logger using the Arduino platform in the hope of encouraging the adoption of new data collection technologies by biodiversity scientists and fostering new collaborations with both electronics hobbyists and electronical engineers.http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/2...
