{"title":"AgXRP DIY Pump & Soil Moisture Sensor Expansion Pack - Beta","handle":"agxrp-pump-soil-moisture-sensor-expansion-pack-diy-beta","url":"/products/agxrp-pump-soil-moisture-sensor-expansion-pack-diy-beta","description":"Add another controlled planting area to an existing AgXRP Starter Kit with this DIY expansion pack. It is designed to create a completely independent watering zone, so students can compare plant types, watering schedules and soil conditions side-by-side.The pack works with the XRP Controller in the main kit, using its multiple motor drivers and daisy-chainable Qwiic connectors. Build the second pump assembly, connect the additional soil sensor, then plug it into your existing controller.This DIY version includes the essential hardware for an extra planting zone, but does not include physical frames. Use the provided open-source 3D printing files to make your own pump enclosure, frames and mounting hardware for your setup.The AgXRP platform is intended for hands-on STEM learning and agricultural automation projects. Documentation includes the AgXRP setup and user guide, instructional videos, frame 3D printing files and beta feedback resources.Features:Automated watering: A Hobby Motor with Encoder, Deep-Groove Ball Bearings, Latex Tubing, and an AgXRP Single-Pump Enclosure Frame can be used to add an additional peristaltic pump to your 3D-printed enclosure.Accurate soil monitoring: Adds a second SparkFun Qwiic Soil Moisture Sensor and a 500mm Flexible Qwiic Cable for real-time hydration tracking on your additional plant.DIY structural support: You will 3D print the AgXRP frames, enclosures, and pump to provide a stable (and potentially custom) foundation for your electronics during long-term experiments.Expandable setup: Add up to three of these Expansion Packs to your base AgXRP Starter Kit, allowing you to automate and monitor four independent planting zones at the same time.Specifications:Sensing: Capacitive sensing over I2CController: CY8CMBR3102 ControllerI2C address: Software Configurable I2C Address (Default: 0x37)Ruler: On Board Ruler (Imperial and Metric units)Connectors: 2x Qwiic ConnectorsSTAT LED: Blue STAT LED (Connects to general-purpose output pin)Power LED: Red Power LEDBest suited to classrooms, makerspaces and ag-tech experiments that already use the AgXRP Starter Kit and want to expand into multi-zone plant monitoring and watering.","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"Agriculture Expansion Kit","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15700,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-KIT-30715","mpn":"KIT-30715","price":53.35,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0}]}
