Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE REALIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS I.L. Margolina, S.A. Marchenko, I.V. Timofeev The article is devoted to invention of state-of-the-art digital equipment for implementation of laboratory and practical works within natural-science subjects at the stages of pre-profi le and profession-oriented ecological education. This technology consists of a central analytical block and a range of transducers connected to wireless hot spot WiFi. It has been allowed to avoid the usage of cables and connectors which are often undergone by the largest deterioration and to provide opportunities to connect from fi ve to ten students’ devices to one measuring block simultaneously and to receive the detectable parameters of environmental conditions. Any portable devices (smartphone, tablet PC, laptop, etc.) with WiFi module can be used as a central block. The distinctive feature of presented equipment is the usage of up-to-date standard Qi, making it possible to charge the battery wirelessly, which simplifi es the construction of transducers and ensure moisture and dust resistance.
