Sensor Telemetry & Hardware Status
Real-time analog-to-digital conversions and digital bus readings from ESP32 DevKit V1.
Engineering Guideline: Raw ADC vs Conversion
As specified in the system brief, the initial hardware readings are raw ADC values (0–4095 on ESP32 12-bit ADC1), not fabricated moisture percentages. In-soil calibration across dry soil vs wet field capacity is required before automated thresholds are engaged.
Capacitive / Resistive Soil Moisture
Measures volumetric soil water content via dielectric permittivity / resistance change.
Submersible Water Depth Sensor
Monitors the water reservoir depth to enforce hardware pump interlock protection.
DHT11 Climate Module
24.8 °C
62 %
Digital temperature and relative humidity sensor with internal NTC thermistor and capacitive humidity element.
Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
Photoresistor voltage divider indicating ambient solar illumination on the farm canopy.
Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Detector
Pyroelectric infrared sensor detecting field motion, unauthorized access, or animal intrusion.
