How to realize a servo and water sensor function using simple raw materials.
With the Earth’s population still on track to increase by another two billion people by the year 2050, finding ways to feed them without causing grave harm to the environment is a top priority. Currently, fish is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world, and a new technology called biofloc helps provide both a food source and environmental stabilizer to fishponds without the need for dangerous chemicals/processes. As part of element14’s Just Encase Design Challenge, Md. Khairul Taifur had the idea to create a device that could sit within a pond and report detailed telemetry for environmental markers, as well as correct minor water quality issues via the use of a heater and water pump. His system is based around a MKR WAN 1300, which is responsible for collecting data from each sensor and then sending it to the cloud with its onboard LoRaWAN module. To make the system independent from an external power source, Taifur included a small 5V solar panel, power management board, and rechargeable battery pack. Once his firmware had been finalized, everything was carefully placed inside of a waterproof electrical box and sealed to only expose the sensors. This biofloc monitoring system has great potential as a proof-of-concept of how future fish farms might operate in a more sustainable manner. You can read more about the project here on element14.
FAQs
Is the Nano ESP32 compatible with MicroPython?
Absolutely! This board fully supports MicroPython. For detailed information on setting it up and getting started with MicroPython, please visit docs.arduino.cc/nano-esp32.
How can I power the Nano ESP32?
The Nano ESP32 can be powered in two ways. Firstly, you can power it via the USB port, which activates the VBUS pin as an output. Alternatively, you can supply power through the VIN pin, accepting an input voltage range of 5 to 18 Volts.
Does it use the official ESP32 core?
Yes, if you are an ESP32 user, simply install the latest version of the Arduino Nano ESP32 core through the board manager in the Arduino IDE. For more information, please refer to the official documentation page.
Will the Nano ESP32 be compatible with sketches from generic ESP32 boards?
The Arduino Nano ESP32 can run code written for other ESP32 devices without any fuss. It's designed to be fully compatible with the ESP32 ecosystem, making it easy to port existing code.
