The DataLogger IoT Can Auto-Detect Even More Boards!

The SparkFun DataLogger IoT firmware has been updated to v1.5.1, adding four new auto-detectable boards.

Hey everyone! We are excited to announce that Firmware v1.5.1 is officially live for the SparkFun DataLogger IoT Boards.

If you've been looking to expand your environmental monitoring or remote logging capabilities, this update brings plug-and-play support for three of our existing Qwiic sensors (technically four considering the mini-version of one of them!), alongside a crucial bug fix to keep your temperature logging running smoothly.

The SparkFun DataLogger IoT is a data logger that comes preprogrammed and ready to use immediately - no programming, no setup - just plug in the board, add a supported Qwiic sensor or two and start logging data. The built-in firmware automatically detects attached sensors, performs any setup and starts logging sensor data. And with minimal configuration, the DataLogger IoT can connect to a local WiFi network and post data to a wide range of IoT data services.

Here is everything new in the v1.5.1 release:

New Sensor Support:

Garmin LIDAR-Lite v4 LED - Distance Measurement Sensor (Qwiic)
