Digital Farming with Liquid Prep on the Edge
summary
Liquid Prep is an open‑source, end‑to‑end digital farming stack that combines a PWA offline app, DIY moisture sensors (ESP32, solar power), weather forecasts and crop models to recommend irrigation and cut water use; it won the 2019 Global Code Challenge and hosts weekly community calls. Edge components include Open Horizon for autonomous updates and on‑site ML inferencing (plant disease/insect models proven as a proof‑of‑concept). Connectivity options: ESP‑NOW workers (40–480 m) and planned LoRa (10–20 km). Second‑generation sensors are waterproof and field‑hardened.
