Hello,

I am looking to use the OLA as a data logger for an animal born tag I am developing. I was hoping to use it with specific sensors that are not made by SparkFun and was looking to see how possible that might be. All the information I have found on the website and these forums has not really addressed this.

Thanks for the help!

You can create new features and add them to the bootloader using this method https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenLog_Art ... UPGRADE.md (here's the toolhttps://github.com/sparkfun/Artemis-Firmware-Upload-GUI)...you'd just add the relevant address info in the .bin, etc

Hi,

There are abbreviated instructions on how to add a new sensor here: https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenLog_Art ... SENSORS.md

I hope this helps,
Paul

It does thank you. Pardon my ignorance, but does this only apply to sensors that are connected through the Qwiic enabled ports? The sensor I have in mind would be connected via the serial port.

Hi,

The OLA supports serial logging:

Scroll down to "Configure Serial Logging".

Best wishes,
