Details

This was a freelance job offered to me, unfortunately, I can't share the finished code.
This project was supposed to be a test of concept if automating the sensors in a hydroponics farm will work while still maintaining the accuracy of the readings over-time.
The data gathered was also published to the a cloud server for viewing even if the farm was located at a remote area.

Some notes

The ESP-32 board pins operate in 3.3v levels while the Gravity pH and EC sensors operate in 5V. I inserted a simple voltage divider to shift 5v to 3.3v levels on the signal pins.
