Beekeeping weight on Arduino / ESP platform
- Beekeeping weight is mainly used for weighing hives and bee products.
- The aim is to have an overview of the hive status at any time without the need to travel to physical control of the hive.
- The weight can be connected to the Internet and be tied to the website to which it sends data.
- The website offers a user interface with real -time data overview, connection with MySQL database, where it stores data from microcontrollers.
- The secondary implementation of the weight can also be communication with other technologies for transmission in the order of meters to miles, and the output may be, for example, to the UART monitor, or the data can be sent to the Internet by other technology.
- Weighing weight uses a tenzometer and an analog-digital converter-HX711 with 24-bit resolution.
- Possibility to weigh grams, up to dozens of kilograms, there are tenzometers per 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, which are sold directly with the HX711 converter.
- Tenzometer with a higher weight is concerned about individual measurements (resolution)
Hardware for data transfer to a web interface
- Arduino + Ethernet Wiznet W5100 - HTTP
- ESP8266 (WiFi) - HTTP / HTTPS
- ESP32 (WiFi) - HTTP / HTTPS
Hardware for data transfer between beekeeping scales (not to a web interface)
- RF transmitter and receiver (315/433MHz) - max. 80 meters
- NRF24L01 + / NRF24L01 + PA + LNA (2.4GHz) - max. 1100 meters
