#What Is Open-Storm?

While there are a number of open-source hardware platforms out there (arduino, raspberry pi, etc.), our experience has shown that they are not rated to withstand the harsh environments of many real-world deployments. We love these platforms for hobby projects and learning, but we needed to build a platform that could withstand the harsh temperatures and exposures of water applications.

We’ve built an industrially-rated platform that will allow you to easily plug in a variety of analog and digital sensors and transmit data wirelessly over a cellular network. We also support a suite of popular sensors for measurements such as water depth, soil moisture and water quality. We’ve also written most of the code, so you can just focus on your application. Best of all, it’s pretty cheap.

We've assembled this wiki to learn or help you get started on your next Open-Storm enabled product. Here you wil find documents relevant to the hardware, software, and firmware used in the Open-Storm platform.
