Week 11 (Components Integration)

Continuing the progress in the eleventh week of my FYP journey, I proceeded to integrate two additional sensors with the ESP32 microcontroller in the transmission part of my project. These sensors were the ADXL345, a 3-axis accelerometer, and the raindrops sensor module.

The integration process began by carefully connecting and wiring the ADXL345 and raindrops sensor module to the appropriate pins on the ESP32 microcontroller. This ensured proper communication and data exchange between the sensors and the microcontroller. To enable seamless integration, I referred to the datasheets and documentation provided for each sensor. These resources provided detailed information on the pin configurations, communication protocols, and programming requirements.

Following the successful physical connection, I utilized the Arduino IDE to write the necessary code for the ESP32 microcontroller to interface with the ADXL345 and raindrops sensor module. This involved configuring the communication protocols and establishing data acquisition routines for each sensor. By implementing the code and uploading it to the ESP32 microcontroller, I created a system that could collect data from multiple sensors simultaneously. The ADXL345 provided valuable information on the acceleration and motion of the monitored area, while the raindrops sensor module enabled the detection of rainfall.
