Summary

This circuit is designed to collect environmental data using various sensors and an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The sensors include a DHT11 for humidity and temperature, a BH1750 for light intensity, a capacitive soil moisture sensor, an NPK soil sensor, a pH meter, a rain sensor, and a GPS module. The Arduino UNO processes the data from these sensors and can be programmed to perform various tasks based on the sensor readings.

Documented Code

/**
 * This example demonstrates how to collect temperature and humidity measurements
 * from the Adafruit DHT11 sensor. Measurements are printed out to the serial monitor.
 *
 * - Make sure to first install the following libraries through the Arduino Library Manager:
 *   - DHT Sensor Library (by Adafruit)
 *   - Adafruit Unified Sensor (by Adafruit)
 * - When you open the serial monitor to view measurements from the DHT11, make sure
 * that you select 9600 baud so that the serial monitor can receive data from the Arduino.
 *
 * This example was originally written by Adafruit Industries LLC.
