About This workshop
This hands-on workshop, 'Delta Data Harvester,' will guide participants through the process of designing, assembling, and coding an Internet of Things (IoT) device tailored for agricultural monitoring. Utilizing Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, attendees will learn to integrate various sensors for measuring soil moisture, temperature, and light intensity, crucial data points for optimizing crop yield. We'll cover fundamental Python programming, basic circuit design, and data logging techniques, empowering you to create practical, low-cost solutions for modern farming. Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or agricultural professional, this workshop provides the foundational skills to leverage technology for sustainable and efficient farming practices in the Mississippi Delta and beyond.
