The Riffle is a collection of designs for an open source approach to water monitoring, with the intent of making gathering water information easier and more accessible. (For an overview of the design philosophy behind the Riffle, see this wiki page).

The first Riffle design was an ARM-based datalogger board enclosed in PVC; Public Lab has supported development of an Atmel328-based datalogger enclosed in a water bottle.

By now, several instrument designs have been constructed around the Riffle, some of which of are described in an array of Github repositories:

2016 Riffle_328 Status. A small order of 30 boards arrived late April 2016, and were sent to Public Lab community members as a ways of testing current hardware features and direct further development.
