parasite

A low power soil moisture sensor based on the nRF52840.

TODO

Implement BLE advertising with moisture, battery level
Figure out how to calibrate the ADC when running from different voltages, as the battery discharges
Implement deep sleep
Measure current in deep sleep
Measure current in operation (ADC + BLE adversiting)
Test with a range of 2-5V input. Disconnect from USB and monitor using a serial post. Use the bench power supply to power Vcc with variable voltage. DO NOT CONNECT VCC FROM THE USB-TO-SERIAL BOARD!*
Test with a coin cell
Implement ADC for battery monitoring
Figure out a way for people to configure the device with a custom name. Idea: BLE service (this is what my hacked xiaomi temp sensor does)
Figure out how OTA works (if at all) over BLE
Design new board using the nrf52 instead of esp32

Implement ADC for the parasitic capacitor; check out air/water range (using protoboard)
Simple PWM square wave generator
Hook square wave generator to the protoboard sensor circuit
Make the protoboard sensor work
