Welcome to the apocalypse-sensor-kit wiki! This kit provides a simple solution for environmental monitoring in agricultural settings. Our system consists of three key components:
- Sensor Module
- Receiver Device
- Mobile Application for Data Visualization
The sensor kit is designed to be straightforward to build, making it accessible to anyone with basic electronics knowledge.
This wiki contains detailed information about the components we used, instructions for building the sensor kit from scratch, and guidance on deploying it in your garden or farm. We recommend following the wiki pages in the order listed below for the best understanding of the project.
- Home
- System Architecture
- Hardware Selection
- Hardware Setup
- Software Development
- Installation and Deployment
- Maintenance and Troubleshooting
To begin with the Apocalypse Sensor Kit:
- Start by reviewing the System Architecture to understand the overall design.
- Check the Hardware Selection page for a list of required components.
- Follow the Hardware Setup guide to assemble your sensor modules and receiver.
- Refer to the Software Development section to set up and customize the firmware and mobile application.
- Use the Installation and Deployment guide to set up your sensor network.
- Consult the Maintenance and Troubleshooting page for ongoing care and problem-solving.
We welcome contributions to the Apocalypse Sensor Kit project! If you have ideas for improvements or new features, please open an issue or submit a pull request on our GitHub repository.

This work was created by Watchdog Sri Lanka (Appendix) as a part of the project Building Tools to Strengthen Pluralist, Inclusive and Fact-based Public Discourse, conducted by LIRNEasia. LIRNEasia (www.lirneasia.net) is a pro-poor, pro-market regional digital policy think tank. The project is conducted in partnership with the Strengthening Social Cohesion and Peace in Sri Lanka (SCOPE) programme, co-funded by the European Union and German Federal Foreign Office. SCOPE is implemented by GIZ in partnership with the Ministry of Justice, Prisons Affairs and Constitutional Reforms.
This is a project by Watchdog Sri Lanka (team-watchdog). Watchdog is a multidisciplinary team of journalists, researchers and software engineers, operating under the Appendix umbrella. We hunt misinformation, investigate matters of public welfare, and build software tools.
We began in April 2019, days after the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka, as a group of concerned citizens trying to counter misinformation. We did this amidst government crackdowns on freedom of expression and mass hysteria caused by fake news and rumors, building a mobile app that was used by over 200,000 people to verify information and counteract rumors in their own networks.
We've been called an “open-source intelligence research collective”, and that's fairly accurate. We use a lot of OSINT techniques - a combination of data scraping, analysis of publicly available documents and datasets, paired with old-school boots-on-the-ground journalism.
