Recurso educativo de comunicación humano-máquina: hardware y software de adquisición de datos para un medidor de radiación solar a bajo costo haciendo uso de ARDUINO®.

Abstract

Based on the article "Design of a low-cost sensor for solar irradiance", in which a meter is made using different electronic elements, such as a photodiode and electrical resistors, in order to compare the predetermined sensor measurement and a reference pyranometer, it is proposed to make a pyranometer as a tool for measuring solar radiation, coupling the device with ARDUINO®; Easy access board made by means of microcontrollers, pins and sensors that allow a configuration thanks to the coupling of a free programming software, this can be acquired by means of its purchase in different commercial stores focused on the sale of electrical and electronic components; and a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the C ++ programming language and the ROOT-CERN data analysis infrastructure. This assembly was raised to allow the study of radiation at a low cost in different areas, facing its importance and literacy scientific.
