What Phidgets Are
● sensors and controllers ● connect to a computer through USB● come with a robust API ● easy to develop applications in a number of
programming languages

How Phidgets Have Been Used
● SARI® is a technological tool for precision agriculture through in-situ sensors It is able to perform calculations that allow the detection and management of three key phenomena in the life cycle of any crop: water stress, frost and fire.

How Phidgets Have Been Used
● The Community Seismic Network at CalTech facilitates the block-by-block collection of ground motion intensity data before, during, and after earthquakes, using inexpensive accelerometers.

How Phidgets Have Been Used
● We have set up our own monitoring devices to watch temperature, motion, and even bathroom supplies
