Garden133\n\nGarden133 is a solar and battery-powered device for monitoring garden soil moisture levels.\nIt reads the moisture level of soil using a capacitive moisture sensor and transmits data via LoRa.\n\nPlease see the [Introducing Garden133](https://selectiveappeal.org/posts/garden133/) blog\npost for a project overview.\n\n![Garden133 in enclosure](images/garden133-board-in-enclosure-768x652.webp)\n\n## Features\n- **Soil Moisture Sensing:** Capacitive sensor measurement.\n- **Device Environmental Monitoring:**\n    SHTC3 sensor for air temperature and humidity inside the device enclosure.\n- **Power Management:** Solar charging and battery voltage monitoring.\n- **LoRa Communication:** Connects to a base station ([LoRa133](https://github.com/chl33/LoRa133))\n     to integrate with Home Assistant.\n- **OTA Updates:** Supports wireless firmware updates.\n\n## Hardware\nThis project includes the custom hardware design and 3D printable parts.\n\n- **PCB Design:** KiCAD files are available in [`KiCAD/Garden133/`](KiCAD/Garden133/).\n  ![Garden133 PCBA](images/garden133-pcba.png)\n- **Enclosure:** OpenSCAD files for the waterproof enclosure and mounts are in [`OpenSCAD/`](OpenSCAD/).\n\n## Firmware Dependencies\nThis firmware uses the [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/) build system and depends on the following libraries:\n- [og3](https://github.com/chl33/og3): Base C++ library for ESP32/Arduino.\n- [og3x-lora](https://github.com/chl33/og3x-lora): LoRa module support.\n- [og3x-satellite](https://github.com/chl33/og3x-satellite): Satellite architecture support.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n- [PlatformIO Core](https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/index.html) or VSCode with PlatformIO extension.\n- An ESP32-based Garden133 board.\n\n### Configuration\nThe project uses INI files for local configuration (secrets, paths, etc.) which are excluded from git.\n\n1. **Setup Secrets:**\n   Copy the example secrets file to create your local configuration:\n   ```bash\n   cp secrets.ini.example secrets.ini\n   ```\n   Edit `secrets.ini` to set your environment preferences:\n   - `udpLogTarget`: IP address for UDP logging.\n   - `otaPassword`: Password for Over-The-Air updates.\n   - `uploadProtocol`: `esptool` (USB) or `espota` (WiFi).\n   - `uploadPort`: Serial port (e.g., `/dev/ttyUSB0`) or IP address.\n\n2. **USB vs WiFi:**\n   You can also use `secrets-usb.ini.example` as a template for USB-connected development:\n   ```bash\n   cp secrets-usb.ini.example secrets.ini\n   ```\n\n### Building \u0026 Flashing\n\n1. **Build the firmware:**\n   ```bash\n   pio run\n   ```\n\n2. **Upload the firmware:**\n   ```bash\n   pio run --target upload\n   ```\n\n3. **Upload Filesystem (LittleFS):**\n   This uploads the `data/` directory containing web resources.\n   ```bash\n   pio run --target uploadfs\n   ```\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.
