TLDR

  • Designed and built an embedded sensing system using a Texas Instruments AWR1642 automotive radar, SparkFun RedBoard, and Adafruit Mini GPS PA1010D to non-invasively predict soil moisture on golf courses.
  • Collected and analyzed extensive soil moisture datasets, developing a classifier with high accuracy in predicting Volume Water Content (VWC).
  • Created a Streamlit dashboard to dynamically visualize moisture readings overlaid with GPS coordinates.
