How It Works

Why Build This

Design and deploy an IoT-enabled agricultural sensor node suitable for undergraduate engineering automation portfolios.
Implement precision real-time water quality monitoring to optimize nutrient absorption rates in automated hydroponic farming.
Integrate analog electrochemical sensors with wireless-capable microcontrollers like the ESP32 for remote environmental data acquisition.

Real-World Application

Automated greenhouse monitoring, commercial and hobbyist hydroponic farming, water quality testing, and precision agriculture.

Skills You'll Learn

Analog sensor interfacing
ADC voltage reading
microcontroller firmware development
basic touch sensor integration
agricultural IoT monitoring

Safety Precautions

Chemicals used to adjust pH such as phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide can cause burns; avoid all contact with eyes and skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

An E201 BNC sensor is specifically designed to measure chemical activity, specifically hydrogen ion concentration, to determine the acidity or alkalinity of liquid solutions rather than ambient thermal properties.
Yes, the project supports the Arduino IDE or any other ESP32 compatible programming environment once the appropriate board definitions and libraries are installed.
The touch sensor provides a user interface mechanism allowing operators to interact directly with the hardware, such as triggering readings or managing calibration routines without needing external mechanical buttons.
