Thank you so much @PyroScience for sponsoring our new project called FieldResp🥳
We were dreaming of building a field #respirometry station for years. Now, due to your cutting-edge DO sensors that can be easily integrated with open electronics modules, all our dreams come true!
Great customisation of PumpResp, @hugomflavio!
Here you might see the beauty of open electronics. If an open hardware device partly matches your experimental needs, just modify it: add or replace components (e.g. buttons or connectors), change the code and make a nice enclosure!

Great discussion, #respirometry folks!
@hugomflavio, you are definitely a customization genius! I will be glad to implement your mods in our tools😎
@respR_pkg, being your friendly rival is honor for me! You clearly demonstrate how competition in #opensource should look like🤗

Presenting my own prototypes in open electronics and sharing projects of other research engineers are essential parts of my R&D life. Here, I demonstrate the latest open-source inventions designed for biologists at @TampereUni (Finland).
NOTE, the company @Pyro_Science is our sponsor! Please do not mix two similar accounts up as I did in the previous tweet🤦
We have finally reached the point when the hardware development & testing stage is over. It is time for creating assembly instructions and writing a methodological paper. Stay tuned🐠#respirometry
NOTE that the modules PumpResp and SwimResp are @Pyro_Science-friendly as well😉

6/6: These tests were done on an almost entirely home-built #respirometry system, with pump controllers by tech wizard @Morozov_science (@FishResp)(photos), and with 3D printed chamber parts from @HeidrikurB. Check their stuff out if you're interested in home-built systems!

Last week, I conducted the workshop: "Open Electronics for Biologists" at @Thuenen_aktuell 🇩🇪
If you are interested in assembling affordable and customisable devices, but do not know where to start, contact me. I am glad to organise a similar workshop in your research unit🧑🏫👩🔬👨🔧
Wow! @Pyro_Science, one of the best sensor manufacture company, is on Twitter now!!!
We have used their DO sensors in our DIY #respirometry systems: really robust probes, meters and software. Highly recommended!
About suitability of these 1$ pumps for #respirometry experiments.
Last summer, we measured SMR of >400 salmon juveniles using them. Over this period, we replaced 14 pumps due to minor power fluctuations not seriously affected DO traces. Thus, we assembled a new kit for 2022!🐟
Achievement unlocked: 12 hours of soldering on the terrace from dusk till dawn!
P.S. it wouldn't be possible to do without Tapi, my fluffy mentor.

Our DIY respirometry system has been successfully tested with Atlantic salmon (300-500g) at @LammiStation
Recipe:
1) pump controller 'PumpResp'
2) DO meter 'SensResp' and sensors
3) four 8L-chambers
4) two weeks for assembly
5) total budget: 1500$

Those four salmons right after 24h respirometry trials, feeling good👍

Massive DO probe calibration📊📈📉
⁉️Have you ever used Atlas Scientific DO sensors? If yes, please let me know, I need your advice🆘
Bonus question: how many sensors are in the photo?😉

Non-commercial respirometry systems will be presented today at 11.25 am BST (in 25 minutes)!
Join the "Open Electronics" session at #SEB2021 if you are curious about PumpResp and SensResp devices!

Welcome to our YouTube channel🐠
The first video introduces #respirometry system that costs 1/3 of the cheapest commercial alternative. Some homemade fish jazz was used as video background, so turn ON sound if you are curious about it🦈🎸🎹

These four homemade #respirometry chambers cost less than 200€ in total + one week of work. They are suitable for fish from 0.5g to 500g and have a robust design.
A commercial alternative for the same kit: >3000€
That is how #DIY approach releases money for actual research🤑

We used these 5-12V DC pumps for #respirometry experiments last summer: an amazing price/quality ratio comparable to #Eheim products.

But, 3.3-5V submersible pumps are still needed, @EHEIM🧐
#fishsci #hydroponics #aquaponics #aquaculture
50 pumps ran simultaneously over three days accumulating 1000 power cycles without any issues: amazing pump for 10$ pcs. Highly recommended!

P.S. thanks Arduino Uno for controlling them.

PumpResp - a DIY pump controller for intermittent-flow #respirometry suitable for fish from 0.5 to 500 g.
Connect up to four chambers, regulate power of each pump, record phase information to PC.
Well-integrated with #pyroscience DO meters.
Budget: 120$.
Purely open-source!

BTW, @FishResp software was used there for the analysis of respirometry data😉
