FieldKit is presenting at the MacGyver session at #AGU23 on FieldKit Underwater, deploying FieldKit in the wild, and our in-app calibration. Come by and say hello.
Want to learn more about sensing on a totally modular, low cost, and open source platform at #agu23? Come by and see us at booth 1420!
We’re at #AGU23 — Check out @talldarknweirdo ‘s poster session today on our field-durable pH measurement circuit!
Our submissions for this year's #Tech4Wildlife photo challenge from Cameroon show that being 40-50m up a tree can definitely have an impact on your focus! We were lucky to work with expert arborists from @TreeMonkees to maximize efficiency and safety.
This year the FieldKit team returned to Cameroon's Dja Faunal Reserve to deploy sensors and a LoRa network for scientists who come from around the world to study. #Tech4Wildlife
Happy #EarthDay2023 from all of us at FieldKit! We put together a little video covering what we've been working on and our plans for the rest of the year.

Yesterday we wrapped up the first FieldKit team meeting since 2019. It was a great time and we’re so excited to share some of our ideas and plans with you soon.
A couple of weeks ago, FieldKit Instrumentation Scientist @petmar0 spoke to @UpperDelCouncil about open source environmental sensing. You can watch his talk on YouTube now: youtube.com/watch?v=TyxMSR0p… Let us know if you would like FieldKit to speak to your org!
Thanks @WILDLABSNET! Actual photo of our team trying to get photos together in between travel, project management, technological chaos, and, you know, life in 2022...
And finally, @fieldkitorg gets our special 'In the Nick of Time' award. Every year, their team manages to somehow sneak in at the very last second with an incredible photo series of their open source environmental sensor project in action. #tech4wildlife xitter.cf/FieldKitOrg/status/157…
Our team has also been hard at work for a #Tech4Wildlife solution for underwater environments, building a prototype FieldKit Underwater, currently in testing. We're excited to think about what new possibilities this will open up!

In June, we met with our partners from @TropRiversLab and @TheWCS in Peru to help deploy FieldKit Water, Weather, and Distance monitoring stations in communities across the Amazon River basin. #Tech4Wildlife
