The final step to your set-up is also the most important – getting data.
Let’s start with the CAP/T Sensor which comes with temperature and humidity sensors.
Before you start, remember to remove the transparent film from the CAP/T Sensor.
Add your CAP/T Sensor
Link your CAP/T Sensor to your F1 Starter Kit
One CAP/T Sensor can send data to more than one F1 Starter Kit, giving you the flexibility to use the same set of data in multiple ways for different projects.
This is done by linking the Sensor to the required Kit(s), which can be done in two ways:
Map your CAP/T Sensor data
Sensor data is stored in ‘Device Fields’ – consider them as individual buckets that store different types of sensor data. You can learn more about Device Fields here.
For now, let’s stick with the basics.
By default, a new Device Field is created for each type of sensor data. You will see four Device Fields already created for the CAP/T Sensor:
Later down the line, once you know your way around, you’ll be able to map sensor data to existing compatible Device Fields.
Click “Link device” when you’re done.
Data mapping settings are sent over-the-air to your Starter Kit if it’s connected to the Internet. If not, you can generate an activation key and deploy the changes to the Starter Kit through CtrlR.
You’re now ready to create your first project!
