Revolutionizing Agriculture in Puebla

Puebla, with its diverse landscapes and favorable climatic conditions, has long been a hub of agricultural activity. However, factors such as water scarcity, air pollution, and inadequate resource management have posed significant challenges to farmers in the region. To address these issues, we embarked on an ambitious project to develop the Air Quality Bot.

By utilizing the SenseCAP S2120 8-in-1 LoRaWAN Weather Sensor, we created a cutting-edge system that provides farmers with real-time information on air quality, temperature, humidity, and more. The data collected by the sensor is seamlessly transmitted to the Air Quality Bot, which disseminates the information through Twitter.

With the Air Quality Bot in place, farmers across Puebla gain access to vital insights and actionable data. They can monitor air pollution levels, track weather patterns, and adjust their farming practices accordingly. This empowers them to make informed decisions regarding irrigation, pest control, and crop protection, ultimately enhancing both crop quality and yield.

1. Installation.

As a first step we have to take the S700 out of its box in order to install and update its software.

Before the installation, check the packing list and make sure there are no missing parts.

Now let's start with the installation but for this we need to know the connection interface of the S700 station.

There are two connectors at the bottom of the device.

• USB Type-C interface allows you to connect your computer with a normal USB Type-Ccabletothedevice for configuration.

• The main data interface can be connected to the M12 8-pin cable, supporting multiple bus protocols

All of this is located at the bottom of the station.

Delving into the connectivity of the station, it also features USB-C to USB connectivity, which is protected by a waterproof thread.

So when using this medium, it has to be resealed properly to avoid water seepage into the equipment.

Now, how is the communication by M12 cable

The device adopts an M12 8-pin connector, the different colored pins provide power and datacommunication (as shown in the above diagram).

When working with the RS-485, you can connect only 4 wires (not using a heating function), andtherest can be individually wrapped with tape to prevent short circuit.

The holes of the cable and the pins of the device connector must be aligned when the cable is plugged in.

Plugin the cable and tighten it clockwise.

The cable is aimed at with the bottom before inserting it into the bottom. Otherwise, the pinsareskewed may cause the communication is abnormal
