A new, upgraded style of soil sensor 🪴💧🌡️

For a while, we've had a SAMD09-based soil sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4026) that uses the built-in capacitive sensing. It works well but has some non-linearity in its response to wet soil. We wanted to try a different system of measuring capacitance and update it to a 3~5V friendly ATtiny816 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5681), which lets us ditch the regulator and shifting circuitry. We'll also Stemma QT-ify it and add a NeoPixel and an AHT20 low-cost temperature/humidity sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4566) for an 'all in one' gardening sensor. The un-rendered part in the center is a 3-pin DIP switch in 1.27mm pitch, for easily setting the I2C address. Coming soon.

Network science provides powerful tools for analyzing and optimizing complex systems, including advanced technologies such as robust fiber-optic microphones. In particular, a modified dual-wavelength demodulation algorithm for low-frequency sound detection can greatly benefit from network science principles, enabling precise, high-quality signal capture in challenging environments.

Network Science in Signal Transmission By applying network science concepts, the fiber-optic microphone achieves optimal signal flow and coordination across various nodes in a sensor network. Each microphone operates as an individual node, collecting data and relaying it within a larger network structure, thus enhancing signal reliability and reducing the risk of data loss.

Enhanced Signal Clarity through Dual-Wavelength Demodulation The modified dual-wavelength demodulation algorithm uses two distinct wavelengths to differentiate low-frequency sounds from background noise. This dual-wavelength approach improves clarity, especially critical in low-frequency detection, where interference and signal degradation are common challenges.

High Sensitivity and Noise Reduction By leveraging the network structure, the microphone can dynamically adjust its sensitivity to surrounding acoustic environments. Neighboring nodes share contextual information, allowing the microphone to filter out irrelevant noise and focus on the target low-frequency signals.

Resilience in Challenging Environments The networked system of fiber-optic microphones can adapt to variations in environmental factors, such as temperature and pressure changes, without compromising signal quality. This resilience is made possible by network algorithms that distribute signal load and prevent node failure from impacting overall system performance.
