SODA: Simple, Open Data Acquisition
Have you ever wondered how fast your trees are growing? Or when your garden needs more water? Do you make graphs just for fun? Do your friends give you strange looks when you talk about your data?
You're not alone. Some people just like to measure things. Some of us are lucky enough to get paid to do it. Whether it's for fun or for serious work, open-source hardware has created a new world of possibilities for measurement and control. These things aren't just toys; they have incredible potential to provide high-quality data at a fraction of the costs of existing hardware (follow this link for some examples).

Our goal is to make a datalogger that's both hackable and works right out of the box.
There are a lot of great datalogger projects out there. We've been developing and testing Simple, Open Data Acquisition (SODA) loggers for a few years. We've found a set of features that can cover many different types of datalogging missions (e.g., high precision ADC, high accuracy clock, SD memory, good power management, built-in screw terminals for sensors). While other companies provide good hardware to build on, our goal is to provide everything that you need to deploy your logger right away.
