The IdeaBoard is an educational Internet Of Things and Robotics development board created by CRCibernetica.com in Costa Rica.

The CRCibernetica Plant Watering Kit includes several key components to help you in the monitoring and care of your plants.! The storage container serves as a water reservoir.

Included in the kit:

• 1 x CRCibernetica IdeaBoard
• 1 x USB-C cable
• 1 x DC Barrel Jack Adapter
• 1 x Wall Adapter Power Supply 5V 3A (Barrel Jack)
• 1 x Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor
• 1x Mini Submersible Water Pump 3-6VDC
• 1x DHT 22 Digital Temperature Humidity Sensor Module
• 1x Right Angle VEML7700 Lux Sensor - I2C Light Sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic
• 1x STEMMA QT / Qwiic JST SH 4-Pin Cable - 20cm
• 1x Male to Female Jumper Wire (10 pcs in one bunch)
• 1x Water Level Float Sensor Switch
• 1x Transparent Silicone tube for Water Pump 7x10mm (50cm)
• 2x Quick Splice Lock Wire Terminal (2pin)

The IdeaBoard is based on the ESP32 microcontroller and features the following characteristics:

• ESP32-WROOM-32E microcontroller

  • 32bits @ 160MHz
  • 3.3V logic
  • 520KB SRAM

  • Bluetooth V4.2 BR/EDR y Bluetooth LE

• Dual H-Bridges for motor control (800mA for each motor)

• Multi-color programmable RGB LED (WS2812B)

• Programmable using Micropython or the Arduino IDE (C/C++)

• USB-C interface for programming and debugging (CH340G serial converter)

• Standard .1" headers for convenient interfacing with GND and Vcc for each pin

• STEMMA/QWIIC 4-pin interface for easy connections to Adafruit and Sparkfun i2c modules

• Direct DC power for battery or power supply (5VDC - 9VDC)

• 7 pins for servos or other applications that require direct power

• 14 General Purpose I/O pins in total (7 direct power -- 7 with 3.3v logic)
