Ribbit Network is a large network of open-source, low-cost, Greenhouse Gas (CO2 and hopefully other gasses in the future) Detection Sensors. These sensor units will be sold by the Ribbit Network and will upload their data to the cloud, creating the world's most complete Greenhouse Gas dataset.
This respository contains the software for the Frog Sensor.
The current Ribbit Network Frog software is being developed for the Frog Sensor Version 4.
To get started, you'll need to install a few dependancies first.
We currently build and test with ESP-IDF v4.4.1.
mkdir -p ~/esp
cd ~/esp
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
cd esp-idf
git checkout v5.1.2
git submodule update --init --recursive
./install.sh allFetch the submodules:
$ git submodule update --jobs 32 --init --recursiveSet up ESP-IDF:
$ source ~/esp/esp-idf/export.shRun tests:
$ make testBuild the firmware:
$ make buildConnect the esp32 board to your computer using the USBC connection port on the esp32 and a cable that will connect to your computer.
Press and hold the "boot" button then press the "reset" button and release both at the same time (shown below). This puts the esp32 into a flashing mode.
The device should now appear on your machine as a serial port like "/dev/ttyACM0".
Now the command below can be run to flash the software to the device.
$ make DEVICE=/dev/ttyACM0 flashIf you are not sure where to start or just want to chat join our developer discord here.. You can also start a discussion right here in Github.
The first prototype sensors are up and running! Here is some real data from our sensor network! (Note this dashboard is still experimental and may be down occasionally).

See the Wiki for background research. This project is inspired by some awesome research by incedible scientists in academia.
Ribbit Network is a non-profit (501c3) creating the world's largest Greenhouse Gas Emissions dataset that will empower anyone to join in the work on climate and provide informed data for climate action. We're an all volunteer team building everything we do in the open-source community.
