Rebuilding My Automated Hydroponic Garden -5- Designing the PCBs
Here's the first video on my little control (station) boxes that run the sensors and parts in the tents and reservoirs. This video goes over the PCBs and what they connect to, as well as how I designed them in EasyEDA. Next video will cover the 3D printed parts and assembly of the PCBs/boxes. Files can be found at the dropbox link below.

    @davidgibbons6394 Před 6 dny

    @LEDGardener I'm not sure if you're still working on this sort of project but I have a quick question. With ESPHome within Home Assistant, how are you getting the esp32 code that you wrote to the controller. This may be a case of updated versions but when I load home and start/bind the esp32 to my instance of Home Assistant I'm unable to add custom code. For example the Adafruit SeeSaw for their moisture sensor. The code is easy enough but getting it over to the esp32 after binding it to HA is boggling my mind and I've been searching this internet to figure it out and drawing a blank. HALP?!?
