1. An Open-Source, Universal Arduino Library for LoRaWAN Integration with Low-Cost, Long-Range Agricultural Sensor Networks

The Data-Gator is a low-cost, open-source sensor platform built on the ESP32 microcontroller. It supports I2C, analog, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor interfaces and can be configured without writing any code. It has been tested at a vineyard and an organic orchard, where it collects readings from a number of sensors at regular intervals. While the platform performs well in these settings, it currently relies on WiFi to send data back from the field. This limits... K. Wing, D. Onyeoguzoro, M. Everett, J.C. Shovic
