## After the workshop Find a permanent location for the sensor. You'll need some weather proofing and a 5V power source. It's recommended to place the sensor 1-3m above ground level in a well ventilated outdoor area. Basically you're trying to measure the same air we're all breathing. Options for weather proofing: -* Use a U bend piece of drain pipe as recommended by the project. -* Browse some of the [many](https://www.yeggi.com/q/airrohr/) 3D printed case designs [online](https://www.yeggi.com/q/sensor+community/). +* Use a U bend piece of drain pipe as recommended by the project +* Browse some of the [many](https://www.yeggi.com/q/airrohr/) 3D printed case designs [online](https://www.yeggi.com/q/sensor+community/) ### Registering with Sensor.Community -Once you've installed the sensor in a permanent location, you can formally register your sensor with the sensor.community project and get your data on [the map!](https://maps.sensor.community) +Once you've installed the sensor in a permanent location, you can formally register your sensor with the Sensor.Community project and get your data on [the map!](https://maps.sensor.community)
-It makes most sense to do this part after you take the sensor home and install it somewhere permanent because the registration process will ask for information about the location of the sensor among other things.

Once you receive the email you can go ahead with registering the sensor. diff --git a/_posts/map.png b/_posts/map.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7962887 Binary files /dev/null and b/_posts/map.png differ diff --git a/assets/blog/emf2024/map.png b/assets/blog/emf2024/map.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7962887 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/blog/emf2024/map.png differ
