I need a different sensor than the ones that are currently available in the FieldKit store. Is (insert sensor name here) coming soon?
You can find a list of sensor modules that are under development here; our team is also working on a few more that aren’t quite ready for the spotlight yet. If you’re interested in a particular module, please reach out to us and let us know. We always want to hear what people are looking for and it might influence what we develop next.
Finally, if you are someone with hardware development knowledge, you may be able to use our open source plans to build your own sensors on the FieldKit platform. We encourage you to discuss the possibilities on our community forum.
