Software installation

Need some more brains? The last step before setting up on the road is to install the software on the Teensy

What you need

Tool

Laptop/PC with Linux or Windows
Data cable (Micro-USB)
Latest version of the .hex file (sensor.ino.hex)
Teensy-Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) for your operating system.

Parts

finished sensor

How it works

The manufacturer of the Teensy provides the software (Teensy loader) for flashing for Linux, Windows and Mac on its website (see above). You can get the necessary .hex file from our repository (also linked above). Now you can connect the sensor to your PC/laptop via micro USB cable, start the Teensy loader and flash the .hex file. Simply follow the instructions on the manufacturer’s website.

When flashing, the current time is also transmitted to the Teensy. This is important so that we can later assign the data to the date and time of day. If the power supply via the button cell is interrupted at any time (defect or replacement of the battery), simply reflash the .hex file before the next measurement.

The Teensy starts working immediately after installing the software. This means that there may already be .csv and .bin files on the memory card. It is best to disconnect the sensor unit from the battery pack now and delete these files from the SD card. You should not accidentally load this data into the portal later.

Flashing with Arduino IDE

If you are familiar with the Arduino IDE, you are of course also free to clone our repository and flash the Teensy yourself.
