P-Bit: The Environmental Mini Computer!

The P-Bit is a compact, modular IoT platform designed for hands-on STEAM and sustainability education. Equipped with temperature, humidity, light, sound, and soil moisture sensors, it allows students to collect real-time environmental data, analyze trends, and connect to the cloud for deeper insights. It features an ESP32-WROOM-32E processor with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.8” TFT display, a rotary encoder, and GPIO/I²C expansion for additional sensors. Students can monitor microclimates, optimize irrigation, and study noise pollution through an intuitive interface. By integrating IoT and data science into the classroom, P-Bit helps address the urgent need for climate literacy, empowering the next generation with the tools to understand and protect the environment. More than just a sensor, it is a gateway to smarter, more sustainable learning.

Story

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.

 


⚙️ Advanced Features & Expandability:

Fully expandable hardware – Compatible with Elecrow sensors, supporting CO₂, pH, water quality, electric current, and more via I²C & GPIO connectors.
User-friendly interface – Features a 1.8” TFT display, rotary encoder, and intuitive navigation for seamless interaction.
Cloud-ready & IoT integration – Send data to platforms like ThingSpeak, Firebase, or MQTT for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Plug & Play design – Easy setup for classrooms, research projects, and DIY applications.

 


Programmable & Open-Source:

P-Bit supports MicroPython, Arduino, and ESP-IDF, enabling users to:

  • Develop custom sensor-based applications.
  • Implement automation & AI-driven analysis.
  • Connect to cloud dashboards for remote monitoring & data sharing.

 


How It Works – Step-by-Step Guide:

1️⃣ Power On & Connect – Turn on the device and view sensor data on the display.
2️⃣ Select Sensors – Use the rotary encoder to switch between different measurements.
3️⃣ Expand & Customize – Add extra sensors and program new functionalities.
4️⃣ Analyze & Share – Send data to cloud dashboards for deeper analysis and insights.

 


Why Choose P-Bit?

Versatile & Scalable – Perfect for entry-level IoT projects and advanced sensor applications.
STEAM & Sustainability-Focused – Helps educators teach data science, climate literacy, and smart technology.
Industry-Compatible – Supports open-source development and professional sensor integrations.
