ESP32-Based Smart Soil Analysis and Environmental Monitoring System

Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit integrates a variety of sensors and modules with an ESP32 microcontroller to monitor environmental parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and pH levels. It also includes a relay for controlling power to external devices. Communication with some sensors is facilitated by an RS-485 module, indicating a potential for long-distance sensor data acquisition. The circuit is powered through the ESP32's Vin pin, which is connected to various VCC pins on the sensors and relay, indicating a common power supply requirement.
