Architecting your agriculture IoT system
In the previous sections, we discussed the sensors and development board in detail. Now it’s time to put things into practice. In hardware development, before starting to work with sensors and development boards, we need to develop the design concepts to get a better understanding of how things will be connected. There are many pieces of software available to design and develop design concepts for electronic projects, but we are going to use Fritzing.
In the following two subsections, we will first talk about the schematics and design of the project and explain how to connect the pins with the development board. Then, we will talk about PCB design and its implementation to make the product ready for deployment in the field.
Schematics and design
The purpose of the design is to get a clear understanding of how sensors will connect with the development board. It helps engineers develop prototypes on a breadboard or Veroboard by...
