How can I quickly add environmental sensors to a robot or an IoT platform without hardware expertise?

In minutes, and without any electronics or firmware work. You plug Dracal USB sensors into the robot's computer or your IoT device, and a single command returns calibrated values in engineering units: temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2 and more. The same simple command works for every sensor, so adding a new type of measurement does not mean starting over.

• Osedea added Dracal sensors to a Boston Dynamics Spot robot through its CORE I/O payload. Thanks to our documentation and code examples, the developer was reading sensor data within minutes.
• Tetra Lab Monitoring first tried to build its own sensors with a Raspberry Pi and a thermocouple, at the cost of many iterations. Switching to plug-in Dracal sensors let the team stay out of the sensor business and focus on its IoT software.
• Lumotive had its sensors fully integrated into its codebase in about 20 minutes.

To get started, see our command line tools guide and our Raspberry Pi tutorial. If your platform speaks MQTT, our MQTT Publisher sends every reading straight to its broker.
