Climate Change Monitoring System and Soil Contours to Increase Agricultural Efficiency #5 - Physical Build Process

Climate Change Monitoring System and Soil Contours to Increase Agricultural Efficiency #5 - Physical Build Process

Hello Guys, I will share my experience in the hardware and case assembly process for the Climate Change Monitoring System. To create a 3D design of the casing, I used Tinkercad software

tk

Before printing, I used the Ultimaker Cura slicer software to change the 3D STL format to G-Code.

Next is the printing process using a 3D printer. With filament PLA+ 
pr

After everything is finished, proceed to the assembly stage between the case and the electronic system that was created in the previous post.

          1.Assembly of the second node as a receiver

n1

At the first node, the power source comes from a 1000Mah capacity battery, equipped with a 1A lithium charger, namely TP4056.

            2. Next is the stage of assembling the first node

In the picture above, I placed the XIAO SAMD21 on the back of the PCB and Lora E32 On the Bottom of the PCB. here are the assembly results of the first node:

The first node uses resources from a 10Wp 12V Solar Panel, reduced using a Mini MPPT to 5V with a maximum electric current of 5A, then the power from the MPPT will be stored in a battery with a capacity of 6000Mah.

(Overall Results after assembly)

There are two elements of green technology in this innovation, as follows:

  • The electrical resources used come from renewable energy, namely Solar Panels with a capacity of 12V/10Wp.
  • The casing used is made from environmentally friendly PLA+.

That's the process of assembling the Climate Change Monitoring System, thank you for reading my blog, next I will post testing of this innovation on coffee plantations.

    Thank You! I used the 5A MPPT Solar Charge Controller. I'm not sure what series it is, but the module I use will appear when you search on Google with the keyword "5A MPPT".

    Nice update! Which solar charger did you use? I was looking for something small enough to fit in a case the same size of yours
