An IoT-based Precision Agriculture Project for Education in Circuits and Systems

In this paper, we present how education can be involved in innovative CAS-based solutions and precision agriculture. We focus on a student project dedicated to plant growth monitoring using the Internet of Things (IoT). The objective was to make the students aware of the need for electronic solutions to sustain food production. They were proposed to design and deploy a network of connected devices using LoRa technology to monitor plants in our engineering school, ENSEIRB-MATMECA. We choose a deployment in LoRa technology in order to master the deployment of the network from the beginning to the end. Their work was divided into 3 parts: sensors, radiofrequency circuitry and data management
