About the SmartGarden PCB
SmartGarden is an open source PCB design by Silverlode76, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 23 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the CN3791, DW01A, BME280 and TTGO_LoRa32_V2.1. By type, the board carries 8 connectors, 5 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 transistors, 2 diodes and 2 capacitors.
It belongs with the rf & radio, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
Off-Grid Smart Irrigation — Solar-betrieben, LoRaWAN-vernetzt, mit Einbrucherkennung. Für Schrebergärten, Hütten und alle Orte ohne Strom, WLAN und Wasseranschluss.

- ✅ STM32 + SX1276 auf 868 MHz grundsätzlich funktionsfähig - ✅ BME280 liefert gute Messwerte - ⚠️ SX1276 Breakout auf Lochraster: erheblicher Lötaufwand - ❌ Schwachlicht-Problem: Node wurde nicht ausreichend geladen (Akku war 18650 — nicht die Ursache!) - ❌ Ursache: TP4056 braucht min. ~4,5V, kleine Panels fallen bei Bewölkung darunter → Ladestopp - ❌ Kein MPPT: schlechter Wirkungsgrad bei diffusem Licht - ⚠️ Eigenes LoRa-Protokoll: nicht kompatibel mit TTN/Vereins-Gateway
