7-in-1 Soil Sensor
A dual-tier diagnostic layout combining an array of analog moisture sensors with a 7-in-1 industrial RS485 Soil Sensor.
⚡
Power & Network Distribution
Centralized power and data infrastructure housed within a waterproof enclosure.
Distribution Elements
- ⚡ Isolated Mean Well 24V and 5V logic rails
- 🌐 Embedded 5-port industrial network switch
- 🔌 Single master connection footprint for the entire mobile bed
🚀
Next-Gen Node Migration
The Fall 2026 school year will bring an architectural change. The FarmBot legacy hardwired Arduino-to-Pi serial paths will be migrated to ESP32 and Wi-Fi. The new system will use an ESP32-based "garden hub" to receive sensor data from wireless mini ESP32 field nodes, feeding an interactive touch display. The new display architecture will also receive the RS485 sensor data and allow a quick review of soil conditions.
Target Framework
- 🖥️ esp32-S3b interactive 800 x 480 display
- 📊 Native integration of RS485 Modbus streams
