Abstract

In the present work, we have built an Online Environmental Monitoring System using an Arduino-like board, which is an open-source electronics platform that reads inputs from the environment and turn it into information and/or tasks. Our system is able to detect variables such as temperature, humidity, luminosity and CO2 and record them every minute into a micro SD card. We have attached the system into a closed artificial ecosystem that is monitored 24h per day. This platform can be used as an interdisciplinary tool by high school teachers, mainly in biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, informatics and electronics subjects, turning the classes more pleasant and profitable.

Keywords: environmental monitoring, Arduino, CO2, artificial terrarium, high school
