Electronics and other fun stuff

Considerable work has been undertaken at the Cold Region Analysis Group Laboratories at the University of Wyoming to develop intelligent, micro-power recording sensors and loggers for various cold regions applications. Past projects have involved in-situ ice stress sensors, data loggers, basal ice data pods, remote inclinometers and time lapse cameras. Much of the older design work used Parallax Basic Stamp units as the basis for dataloggers etc., after a modification was made to reduce their power consumption from ~150microamp to 17microamp, which allowed their use in remote instruments that need to run for several years unattended. Newer designs are based on the MSP430 series from TI, and on the PIC18F series from Microchip. Some of the older loggers have been running continuously in the field, and recording data under severe conditions, for over 5 years.
