Agriculture is the broadest economic sector and plays an important role in the overall economic development of a nation. Technological advancements in the arena of agriculture will ascertain to increase the competence of certain farming activities. Smart...
For the "Take Flight with Feather" contest I am submitting my idea for this featherwing. It is a feather add-on board that has an AM2320 sensor for monitoring temperature and humidity. Also there is a photo/light senser to monitor light level. Additionally...
Settings would originally be configured using an SD card in the data logger, and would include SSID/passkey for WiFi, number of active sensors, moisture thresholds for each sensor and lighting schedule. WiFi would initially be used to contact a local...
WaterTimeA Wireless Soil Moisture Monitor This project is a wireless soil moisture monitor for gardening. It is a battery-operated unit that can be left in the soil and transmits an indication of the moister in the soil. In addition, a light sensor reading,...
Specifications Utilizes an ESP32 as the microcontrollerCode will be written in C using Espressif's ESP-IDFSensor transmits data over ESP-Mesh networkBoard will be programmable with a daughter board and micro USB cableSoil moisture will be calculated...
Watering and Lighting Automation Overview: Watering automation will consist of a soil moisture sensor connected to a wifi-enabled microprocessor that will sample the soil at set intervals. When soil moisture is too low, the processor will trigger a watering...
Over the winter, I have been intensively occupied with LoRaWAN and also canvassed the relevant providers. At Dragino I found a very cheap LoRa module, which has a RS-485 interface. The advantage is that you can easily connect a SMT100 soil moisture sensor...
Device The Lora Soil Moisture Sensor is a nice combination with the following components on a single circuit board: ATMEL AVR 8-bit Atmega328P with Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V/8M bootloader pre-loaded)LORA module RFM95W with coil antennaSoil moisture sensor...
Greetings to all! Today I want to tell you about one of my projects, this is a soil moisture sensor with a small screen on electronic ink, the sensor works on a battery, can send data over the air to some of the Smart Home systems. This project is a...
Motivation The UK has been experiencing one of its worst droughts in recent history (2022). River levels have dropped to record lows and local ponds have all dried up. This has made water efficiency absolutely crucial in preventing any significant...
As I was trying to put together a simple automated plant watering solution, I figured that having the amount of water be driven by a soil sensor would be a good idea. So I tried the default cheap capacitive moisture sensors, but had several of...
How It Works Parasitic Capacitance As with w-parasite, the soil moisture sensor works by measuring the capacitance between two large copper traces on the board. These traces are on the PCB part that you stick in the soil. By applying a square wave...
1. Project Description Makerfabs LoRa moisture sensor has been popularly sold& used in open hardware community, but sometimes we get customers’ questions: How I can use your sensor with TTN/ Helium? Whenever we get these questions, we can only...
The recent explosion on the bast amount of development platforms for IoT can make it really hard to settle for one of them when planning to develop a new system, the very big differences between them makes planing ahead critical for developments since...
