Wireless Sensor Network Node Design with Code

In 2014 I launched Mayim, LLC (a spinoff from the USDA SCRI-MINDS project) to reduce wasted water being applied to crops when irrigating. Most farmers overwater their crops since to underwater means death to their crops. By accurately controlling irrigation we were able to not only reduce water usage, but also reduce pesticide usage, reduce fertilizer usage, reduce leeching of…

By natural I mean I mostly naturally occurring phenomena such as sunlight and temperature. I will mostly ignore things like chemical detection and radiation (the bad kind) detection. I am going to start…
