Sensor utilisation

The following sensors are likely going to need continual or regular monitoring in order to be effective, meaning they will drain power.

To reduce power consumption, they, and the circuits associated with them, need to be ultra low power (tens of microamps at most, but preferably nanoamps). For more complex heuristics, for example where a sensor is comprised of several components, it will be prudent to use one component as a trigger to wake the other components where possible.

Note: This list is incomplete.

• Bhangmeter
• Bolometer
• Dosimeter (cosmic ray and x-ray)
• Fulmenometer (particularly the optics, EM and infrasound)
• GPS - in terms of 1PPS RTC accuracy for TOF timestamping
• Heliophotometer - every 36 seconds during daylight
• Magnetometer
• Pluviometer - rainlight sensor to detect onset of rain
• SDR (if implemented)?
• Seismometer
• Sonorometer
• Telemetry - for incoming packets - urg!
• UV radiometer (sky facing) - if it's used to trigger other sensors?
