Abstract


This paper presents EstGeoMag, a low cost hardware and software solution, based on concepts found in the Internet of Things, whose main objective is to help obtain geomagnetic quantities with high resolution and precision. In addition to detailing the hardware and software architecture and to evaluate the precision and accuracy of measurements, 105h of the equipment’s use were used for the monitoring in the city of Venda Nova do Imigrante, in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The results of these measurements were compared with different high precision commercial magnetometers models used by INPE.
