How I built a solar-powered RS-485 soil sensor node for orchard management (open hardware)

This article details the construction of a solar-powered RS-485 soil sensor node for precision orchard management, featuring an ESP32-S3 MCU, custom power switching, and Modbus sensors. It leverages a Cloudflare backend and an AI layer using Claude's Haiku and Sonnet models for deep agronomic analysis.
