HOBOconnect vs Project Monarch Science

HOBOconnect is designed to communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy to the HOBO® MX data loggers. You can configure and start the data logger, download the recorded data, store and analyze the data. The data can be viewed in both graphical and list formats and also exported and shared to other programs including Numbers, Excel and HOBOware®. Features: * Wirelessly communicate to the HOBO® MX data loggers * Internet connection not required to use HOBOconnect * Set data logger's name, password, logging rate, alarm threshold, start & stop time * Check logger’s status included memory used and battery life * Clear audible alarms (for models with this feature) * Page the data logger * Manage data files with groups * Download and view data * Zoom in and out of the graph with gestures * Export and Share data as a CSV, TXT, XLSX and HOBO files Compatible Data Loggers * HOBO® MX1100 Series Temp/RH/CO2/Light/Analog Data Loggers * HOBO® MX2001 Water Level data logger * HOBO® MX100 Temperature data logger * HOBO® MX2200 Series Water Temp Data Loggers * HOBO® MX2300 Series Temp/RH/Soil Moisture data loggers * HOBO® MX2500 Series pH data loggers

Project Monarch is an effort to leverage recent advances in tracking technology, that have enabled the development of the world’s smallest tracking devices, to track Monarch migration. The tracking devices on the monarch butterflies transmit at the same frequency as Bluetooth which means that everyone with a smartphone is carrying around a receiver in their pocket! This revolutionary approach can potentially create the largest wildlife tracking receiver network in the world, but only if members of the public download and use the free Project Monarch app. These data will allow scientists to track the movements of monarch butterflies in detail never previously imagined. We will see how monarchs utilize key stopping points along migratory routes and learn more about the speed and direction of migration, helping identify the most important sites for habitat conservation and restoration. Ultimately, this technology can help guide conservation planning and lead to increases in monarch populations.
