A project at at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine has developed a new approach for identifying hazardous contaminants in soil samples. Described in PNAS, the technique could make it ...

A soil sensor, for example, can detect the conditions needed for better crops. Bringing together IoT-collected data allows farmers to better manage soil, fertilizer, and water, and reduce losses.

The sensor is based on an STM32 microcontroller, in this case one specifically optimized for low-power applications. The other low-power key to this build is the small seven-segment e-ink display.
