Guides for Educators, Scientists, and Explorers

Welcome to the official Babbeleaf documentation. Here you'll find detailed guidance on configuring, operating, and integrating the Babbeleaf device — from initial setup to data recording and interpretation. Whether you're an educator using Babbeleaf in a classroom, or a researcher conducting plant signal analysis, this section provides everything you need to get started and go deeper.

Documentation Topics

  • Science Basics

    Understand the biological principles behind Babbeleaf's signal sensing and interpretation. Explore plant electrophysiology, response mechanisms, and real-world use cases.

  • Introduction

    Discover how the Babbeleaf device captures bioelectrical signals from plants and transforms them into audible waveforms. This introduction explains the goals, capabilities, and unique value of the system.

  • Control Panel

    Explore each element of the Babbeleaf Control Panel — from signal management and waveform visualization to recording, playback, and audio output configuration.

  • Audio Panel

    Configure how Babbeleaf encodes, stores, and annotates your signal recordings.

  • File Panel

    Access, manage, and prepare your recorded signal files. This panel provides an overview of the SD card’s contents, allows playback file selection, and provides formatting options.

  • WiFi Panel

    Configure the Babbeleaf device’s wireless settings. View current WiFi status and connect to available access points.

  • Bluetooth Panel

    Manage Bluetooth connections between the Babbeleaf device and external playback devices or interfaces. View paired devices and initiate new connections.

  • System Panel

    The System Panel provides access to low-level operations that affect the Babbeleaf device’s firmware, appearance, and data safety. Here, users can update the software, switch between interface themes, back up configuration data, and safely power down the device.

  • Gallery

    The Gallery is your private workspace for organizing and managing all data recorded with Babbeleaf. Here, you can collect, review, and refine your plant signal recordings before sharing them with others through the Catalog.

  • Catalog

    The Babbeleaf Catalog is a curated, research-grade repository of plant bioelectrical recordings and associated environmental metadata. Unlike private gallery entries, which allow users to freely document and annotate their own plant recordings, catalog entries undergo a rigorous validation process to ensure accuracy, consistency, and scientific value.

    Each catalog entry is assigned a Babbeleaf Catalog Number (BCN), a permanent reference identifier that enables reproducibility and cross-referencing in collaborative research.
