The advantage of our prototype is due to the fact that it will be used by small winemakers in the \u201cRibera del Duero\u201d area, and as it is a cheaper sensor and easy to use for the control and monitoring of the grape fermentation process, it will probably be used by other business men with the same necessities in the region. The microcontroller MSP430G2553 is among the components that make up the sensor, that are integrated onto a motherboard. It communicates with the RN-42 Bluetooth module through an UART interface. After verifying that all elements are working correctly, the parts are assembled to form the final prototype. This device has been tested in a winery in the region, fulfilling the initial project specifications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130302848","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,28]],"date-time":"2013-02-28T11:31:36Z","timestamp":1362051096000},"page":"2848-2861","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["A Novel Low-Cost Sensor Prototype for Monitoring Temperature during Wine Fermentation in Tanks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Sainz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ETSI de Telecomunicaci\u00f3n, Universidad de Valladolid, Campus Miguel Delibes, Paseo Bel\u00e9n 15, 47011 Valladolid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Antol\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ETSI de Telecomunicaci\u00f3n, Universidad de Valladolid, Campus Miguel Delibes, Paseo Bel\u00e9n 15, 47011 Valladolid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Coronado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ETSI de Telecomunicaci\u00f3n, Universidad de Valladolid, Campus Miguel Delibes, Paseo Bel\u00e9n 15, 47011 Valladolid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EATCO Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Cordoba,  Campus de Rabanales, 14071 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7982","DOI":"10.3390\/s8127982","article-title":"A passive wireless temperature sensor for harsh environment applications","volume":"8","author":"Wang","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6497","DOI":"10.3390\/s120506497","article-title":"Using micromechanical resonators to measure rheological properties and alcohol content of model solutions and commercial beverages","volume":"12","author":"Paxman","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1670","DOI":"10.3390\/s100301670","article-title":"A thick-film sensor as a novel device for determination of polyphenols and their antioxidant capacity in white wine","volume":"10","author":"Photinon","year":"2010","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2001","DOI":"10.3390\/s110202001","article-title":"Fabrication of a microbial biosensor based on QD-MWNT supports by a one-step radiation reaction and detection of phenolic compounds in red wines","volume":"11","author":"Kim","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1846","DOI":"10.3390\/s8031846","article-title":"Amperometric determination of sulfite by gas diffusion- sequential injection with boron-doped diamond electrode","volume":"8","author":"Chinvongamorn","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8055","DOI":"10.3390\/s120608055","article-title":"Electronic nose based on independent component analysis combined with partial least squares and artificial neural networks for wine prediction","volume":"12","author":"Aguilera","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2818","DOI":"10.3390\/s120302818","article-title":"Pattern classification using an olfactory model with PCA feature selection in electronic noses: Study and application","volume":"12","author":"Fu","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4840","DOI":"10.3390\/s110504840","article-title":"Application of an e-tongue to the analysis of monovarietal and blends of white wines","volume":"11","author":"Llobera","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2750","DOI":"10.3390\/s7112750","article-title":"Metalloporphyrin-based electronic tongue: An application for the analysis of italian white wines","volume":"7","author":"Verrelli","year":"2007","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1679","DOI":"10.3390\/s6111679","article-title":"A portable sensing system for electronic tongue operations","volume":"6","author":"Twomey","year":"2006","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_11","unstructured":"Moreno, J.J., and Peinado, R.A.
