Farm Data Relay System is an easy way to communicate with remote IOT devices without relying on WiFi or LoRaWAN. The system establishes a series of low-power, low-cost access points and repeaters that provide light-weight ESP-NOW and LoRa coverage to remote devices. The system can be used to exchange sensor readings or control messages in situations where it would be too difficult or energy-consuming to provide full WiFi/LoRaWAN coverage. While it was designed with farming in mind, FDRS can be especially useful in a classroom or research setting.
Farm Data Relay System is an easy way to communicate with remote IOT devices without relying on WiFi or LoRaWAN. The system establishes a series of low-power, low-cost access points and repeaters that provide light-weight ESP-NOW and LoRa coverage to remote devices. The system can be used to exchange sensor readings or control messages in situations where it would be too difficult or energy-consuming to provide full WiFi/LoRaWAN coverage. While it was designed with farming in mind, FDRS can also be useful in a home, classroom, or research setting.
Devices are classified into two types: **Gateways** and **User Nodes**. Gateways comprise the infrastructure of the network, moving data in pre-determined directions to provide coverage to all devices. User nodes allow the user to exchange data with the gateways. Each gateway is identified with an 8-bit physical hex address (MAC), while nodes use 16-bit integers to identify datapoints as they move through the system.
