Empower Learning with Real-Time Data & IoT Technology!
The P-Bit is a compact, modular, and expandable IoT sensor platform designed to bring hands-on STEAM learning to students, educators, and makers. Built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, it enables real-time data collection and analysis via Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity, making it perfect for climate monitoring, smart agriculture, and environmental science projects.
Integrated Sensors for Experiments:
- DHT11 (Temperature & Humidity): Measures air temperature (0°C to 50°C) and humidity (20% to 90%) for climate studies.
- DS18B20 Thermometer: Provides high-precision temperature readings (-55°C to 125°C), ideal for soil, water, and environmental monitoring.
- Light Sensor (LDR): Detects light intensity, supporting experiments on energy efficiency and plant growth.
- Sound Sensor (Sonometer): Captures sound levels to analyze noise pollution and environmental acoustics.
- Soil Moisture Sensor: Monitors soil water content for irrigation studies and smart farming applications.
