Ribbit Network is a large network of open-source, low-cost, Greenhouse Gas (CO2 and hopefully other gasses in the future) Detection Sensors. These sensor units will be sold by the Ribbit Network and will upload their data to the cloud, creating the world's most complete Greenhouse Gas dataset.
See more about the cloud database here.
Our “Frogs” are tiny sensors that you can build or buy and deploy at your own home! It’s a small, open-source box that measures the amount of CO2 in the air using a tiny laser. It's easy to set up and will constantly record valuable scientific data on our climate. Frogs are one of the species that are most affected by climate change! Just like our sensors, they ribbit to one another to create a powerful network of data about the environment.
The first prototype sensors are up and running! Here is some real data from our sensor network! (Note this dashboard is still experimental and may be down occasionally).
We've just released the design of the Frog Sensor Version 2.0!
Check out our Project board for the list of all work currently in progress on Ribbit!
Check out the instructions in the hardware folder to build your own Frog Sensor!
See the hardware and software README's and folders for more technical details!
