Remote Crop Disease Image Logger Variant 21 Kit with ESP32 + BMP280
Remote Crop Disease Image Logger with ESP32-CAM, BMP280, and Solar Power
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Detect crop disease early by capturing daily leaf images paired with temperature, humidity, and pressure readings. This kit deploys an ESP32-CAM deep inside your field, inside a waterproof enclosure, powered by a solar-charged 18650 battery bank. Designed for agricultural researchers and agri-tech hackathon participants, it builds a self-contained image logger that stores high-resolution photos and environmental context directly onto a microSD card — no network dependency, no recurring cloud costs.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and program a standalone field device that wakes up at a scheduled time using the DS3231 RTC, triggers the ESP32-CAM to photograph a crop leaf, logs BMP280 atmospheric pressure and DHT22 humidity/temperature, and writes everything to an SD card in timestamped folders. The entire system is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure and powered indefinitely by the included 6V solar panel through a TP4056 charge controller.
What You'll Learn
- Interface multiple I2C and one-wire sensors (BMP280, DHT22, DS3231) with ESP32-CAM and manage bus conflicts.
- Design a solar-powered 3.7V Li-ion supply chain using buck converters, TP4056, and 18650 cells for outdoor deployment.
- Implement robust time-scheduled image capture and SD card file management with real-time clock timestamping.
- Prototype, solder, and enclose electronics in a waterproof case suitable for agricultural field conditions.

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is tailor-made for B.Tech ECE/EEE students building agro-tech sensor networks, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling precision agriculture, and researchers from IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS deploying field data loggers. It also serves CBSE Class 11–12 students with strong embedded skills and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors prototyping climate-resilient farming solutions.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion provides step-by-step debugging cues specific to sensor wiring and ESP32-CAM sleep wake cycles. For hardware troubleshooting, WhatsApp our team directly for a same-day reply.
Does this kit send crop images to the cloud or phone?
No, by design it stores all data locally on an SD card to work without internet in remote farm areas. You can later transfer images to a laptop for analysis.
How long can the device run on solar power alone?
With the 6V 2W panel and two 18650 cells, the system sustains daily capture and sensor logging for several weeks, even during monsoon cloud cover. The TP4056 module ensures safe charging.
Will the enclosure protect against rain and dust?
Yes, the provided waterproof case is IP65-rated when sealed properly, shielding the electronics from heavy rain and field dust while keeping the camera lens clear through a transparent window.
ESP32-CAM photographs crop leaves daily. BMP280 and DHT22 provide environmental context. Stored on SD.
