SENSOR BOX

The HDX Sensor Box is a compact environmental sensing device designed for use with Experiment Engine and the broader HDX ecosystem. It continuously captures real-time environmental conditions during experimental workflows, creating a timestamped stream of sensor data that can be linked directly to experiments.

The Sensor Box works natively with Experiment Engine, where environmental telemetry can be synchronized alongside procedural logs, video data, and experiment context in real time. For standalone use, we are also building an open-source desktop application that allows users to visualize, monitor, and record Sensor Box data independently.

The system combines temperature, humidity, air quality (VOC), and atmospheric pressure monitoring to provide additional context around experimental conditions that may influence outcomes, reproducibility, and experimental variability.

Built on an ESP32-S3 architecture with a modular design, the Sensor Box can operate as a standalone environmental monitor or as part of a larger synchronized experimental system.
