Eduponics Mini ESP32 agriculture IoT dev board

Eduponics mini ESP32 agriculture IoT dev board

Eduponics Mini is a smart-agriculture and IoT dev board. Built-in with ESP32-4MB-WROVER module, the board can enable wireless WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities to any project. The Eduponics Mini integrates multiple sensors and devices such as:

• Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
• Interface for the soil moisture sensor
• Interface for water quantity sensor
• EEPROM memory
• Real-time clock module (RTC)
• Ambient light diode
• Water pump relay

With this array of IoT agriculture sensors, Eduponics mini ESP32 IoT development board is able to turn any idea into reality. The Eduponics mini is perfect for smart agriculture, plant watering, and IoT indoor and outdoor applications.

STEMinds truly believes that quality and precise hardware should be available in the hands of everyone. for that reason, we designed Eduponics mini, a smart ESP32 IoT agriculture dev board that enables anyone to create real-world scenario IoT applications at an affordable price.

Companion mobile app

Eduponics comes with a companion app available for Android devices. The app is the perfect solution for remote IoT agriculture sensors monitoring. Using the app, it’s possible to customize the plant’s names and remotely monitor the environmental data of the plants such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, and soil moisture. The app is available through the Google play store.

Possible applications

If you are wondering what smart agriculture system using IoT project, Eduponics mini has it all. From plant monitoring to automatic watering solutions, Eduponics mini is an open source, easy-to-use, customizable board to turn your ideas into reality. Here is some of the applications you could create using the Eduponics mini ESp32 IoT development board:

• Smart plant automatic watering system
• Environmental monitoring and data-driven irrigation system
