Jyesi and Omari used an arduino and photo diode to pick up the wavelengths o light. Set it up in the range of 450nm-490nm to specifically pick up on the light that bioluminescence is usually in. We ended up doing 3 versions and version 3 was the successful one. So our future plans are to make this waterproof do if you think you can help please contact me. Or just any additional information.

Current Build:

Current Code:

int sensorPin = A2;

int sensorValue = 0;

const int high = 15; //set high parameter

const int low = 5; //set low parameter

**

**

void setup(void) {

pinMode(A2, INPUT); //sensor

pinMode(2, OUTPUT); //red

pinMode(3, OUTPUT); //yellow

pinMode(4, OUTPUT); //green

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);

}

**

**

void loop(void) {

sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);

float lightlevel = (sensorValue) * 5.0; //amplifying signal

Serial.print("Light Level: ");

Serial.print(lightlevel);

if (lightlevel < low) { //low, red light on

digitalWrite(2, HIGH);

digitalWrite(3, LOW);

digitalWrite(4, LOW);

Serial.println(" No Bioluminescence");

}

else if (lightlevel >= high) { //high, green light on

digitalWrite(2, LOW);

digitalWrite(3, LOW);

digitalWrite(4, HIGH);

Serial.println(" Bioluminescence");

}

else { //medium, yellow light on

digitalWrite(2, LOW);

digitalWrite(3, HIGH);

digitalWrite(4, LOW);

Serial.println("Low Bioluminescence");

}

delay(10);

}
