About This workshop
This immersive workshop explores the intersection of sustainable technology and precision agriculture, perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike. Participants will gain practical skills in designing, assembling, and programming low-cost, low-power IoT sensor nodes using microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi Pico. Focus will be on utilizing alternative power solutions, potentially including bio-batteries or solar micro-panels, to monitor environmental parameters crucial for farming, such as soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels. Attendees will leave with a functional prototype and the knowledge to deploy sustainable monitoring systems, contributing to greener farming practices and data-driven decision making in Idaho's agricultural landscape.
