Who is this for?
This address board is especially relevant for anyone looking to set up climate monitoring on a larger scale, for example across office buildings, schools, or other premises where CO₂ levels need to be measured in several places at once. It's also a useful reference for companies developing their own sensor products who need a robust, reliable way to run multiple sensors over a single connection. And it's a good example of how IMeTech works alongside an external partner, in this case FieldGuard, to take an idea all the way to a production-ready solution.
What makes it special?
What makes this design special is that it solves a tricky practical problem: sensors that are normally identical and can't share the same connection can, thanks to this board, all be addressed individually. The design also accounts for demanding, real-world conditions, with protection against things like miswired cables and a status light that uses clear fault codes to show exactly where a problem lies. On top of that, the project ran the full course from an early working test to a production-ready board, developed closely with FieldGuard.
