Now let\u2019s get started with the general sensor aspects!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;28px||4px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-5px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4px||1px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Energy consumption \u2013 Not just for the sensor<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s very important to keep the power consumption low if your IoT device will not be connected to a power grid. It\u2019s not just the sensor consumption that is relevant, the full measurement principle has to be evaluated with respect to power consumption. Look at the full picture; sensor, data processing and transmission of data. The different parts all contribute to the power consumption at the same time as they are dependent on one another. Do the analysis on alternative system solutions. The total power consumption is what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Production and testability<\/h4>\n<p>Start thinking of production and your future testing needs early. How will your product be tested in production? Ramping up volumes later on will put demands on short test times. Many complex sensors have built in test functions that makes testing in production easier. For example, an accelerometer can be hard to test in the real environment, and then a built in test function might be a need to be able to test the quality of each unit.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Surrounding environment<\/h4>\n<p>Do an analysis of the surrounding environment which the sensor will operate in. Check the sensor specification so that it is functional in e.g. the temperature range and humidity range it will operate in. Think about dust conditions, vibrations and any other special environmental aspects.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Form factor<\/h4>\n<p>Are there any restrictions on size and weight for your application? Will your IoT product be integrated into building elements or other products? Aesthetic aspects? Any other requirements on the form factor?<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Life span<\/h4>\n<p>A IoT device will often be used for many years, perhaps located somewhere where maintenance is hard or impossible. The device should not just operate over a long time period, it should also deliver reliable measurements throughout its life. Therefore it\u2019s important to evaluate measurement drift over time due to aging and the surrounding environment. Think about how much the drift will affect your application and find out how much drift is acceptable. Accelerated aging tests may be required to assess measurement drift and overall lifetime.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Interface<\/h4>\n<p>There are a range of interfaces for sensors, starting with the major division into analogue signals or digital protocols, for example SPI or I2C. It\u2019s a good idea to wait, and not pick an specific interface early in a rush to get the electronic development moving forward. It\u2019s a better idea to start by selecting the sensor based on the measurement aspects and then adopt the electronics accordingly. This way you are more open to optimizing the sensor selection based on what you actually want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>So now you have some starting points to think of when designing your sensor node. Good luck with your sensor selection, and let me know if you have any questions or if there\u2019s something I missed.<\/p>\n<p>By Karin Hellqvist<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;27px||2px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.dvel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LinusAmoli.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;LinusAmoli&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;auto&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;50%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; min_height=&#8221;auto&#8221; height=&#8221;auto&#8221; max_height=&#8221;none&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;0.8em&#8221; header_6_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||16px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|8px|0px|false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;0.8em&#8221; header_6_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||16px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|8px|0px|false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;0.8em&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||16px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|8px|0px|false|false&#8221; header_6_text_align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; header_6_text_align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; header_6_text_align_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Linus Amoli<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>CPO<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjU2OCJ9fQ==@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;CONTACT LINUS&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; button_alignment_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; button_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; button_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Knapp: CONTACT US&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;fa819396-4e80-4662-956b-2abb81b2cdc2&#8243; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the most important criteria to consider when choosing a sensor?
