Description: An open source, wireless,solar powered sensor that monitors soil temperature, air temperature, humidity, luminosity, and soil moisture levels in garden/fieldAdd new comment Documentation Image Gallery: Documentation Wiki: Title: Open Source Wireless Field/Garden Sensor Node Purpose: The Open Source Wireless Field/Garden Sensor Node's intent is for the node to be deployed remotely to a location in your field or garden and monitor the soil temperature, air temperature, humidity, luminosity, and soil moisture levels. The raw cost of the node is intended to be under $20. Current State 8-Mar-2015: Soil and air temperatures and humidity sensors are active on all nodes. In addition they are all now solar powered. Also PCBs arrived from OSH Park; however, I ran out of solder paste :) A prototype soil moisture sensor has been prototyped but not deployed on a sensor node yet. Data can be viewed at deployment 1 and also deployment 2. Also my blog has some more info related to the sensor node theacrelab.blogspot.com Short term to do: add luminosity and soil moisture probeLong term to do: redesign caseAdd new comment I like this tool up1 user has voted.
