This project involves building a Smart Compost Monitor, a custom IoT device designed to track essential parameters within a compost pile. The tangible outcome is a self-contained, weather-resistant electronic unit equipped with sensors for temperature, moisture, and pH, capable of real-time data collection and wireless transmission. This device will demonstrate the practical application of embedded systems in environmental monitoring, providing actionable insights for optimizing the composting process. By making the invisible processes of decomposition visible and measurable, it showcases the power of data-driven approaches in sustainable practices.
This build is geared towards individuals with a curious, hands-on temperament who enjoy integrating physical components with code, and are motivated by creating practical, data-generating tools for real-world applications.
