Now testing the possibilities of using solar power with a battery. The ESP32 has a deep sleep mode that puts the device into hibernation while consuming a very low amount of power, ideal for use with a small solar panel and battery. A small 2000mAh battery can keep the power going for days on cloudy days.
I also made a small update to the Agroecology Map app to show the sensor data.
The Agroecological TRANSITIONS program will present their experience integrating digital resources and agroecology. TRANSITIONS’ projects are aiming to improve food security, minimize negative ecological impacts, and foster climate-informed agroecological transitions.
