Capturing that progression in real time-wirelessly-lets you protect crops and validate models. With this kit you build exactly that: six waterproof DS18B20 probes at staggered depths, each paired with an Arduino Nano and RA-02 LoRa module, feeding time-stamped temperatures to a central ESP32 gateway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou assemble six long-range sensor nodes that wake every few minutes, read a DS18B20, and transmit via 433 MHz LoRa to a single ESP32. The gateway collects and displays serial data, loggable to an SD card or pushed to a dashboard. When placed in a borehole or soil pit, the system reveals where the frost line is, how fast it moves, and when it reverses-critical data for frost fans, irrigation scheduling, and climate research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigning a LoRa star network with node addressing and sleep-wake cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterfacing multiple DS18B20 1-Wire sensors and managing parasitic power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfiguring RA-02 modules for reliable long-range transmission outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilding battery-powered nodes with TP4056 charging and deep-sleep optimisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESP32 Dev Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Nano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRA-02 LoRa Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS18B20 Waterproof Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e433MHz Antenna\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18650 Li-ion Cell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTP4056 Charging Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7k?
