DevicesSoilPulse Mini
SoilPulse Mini.
Small sensor. Bigger reach.
Our concept for the next SoilPulse sensor: sensing, electronics and battery in one compact head that stays in the ground and reports on its own. In development.
In 3D
Turn it over.
Take it apart.
Spin the Mini, then open it up to see how the parts are meant to fit together.
What’s inside
Everything in one sealed head.
The first SoilPulse Probe pairs a probe with a separate reader. The Mini folds it all into a head the size of a matchbox, so it can stay in the soil and send readings without anyone standing over it.
- CoverAn off-white lid that keeps the electronics dry and out of the sun.
- GasketA seal between the cover and the base.
- Circuit boardController, radio and a printed antenna on one board.
- BatteryA compact cell, so there are no cables to the field.
- Base and status lightA forest-green base with a light that shows the sensor is working.
- Five sensing rods60 mm stainless steel rods for moisture, pH, EC, temperature and NPK.
How it would connect
Set it once. Leave it in the ground.
The proposed design. The connection still needs to be built and proven in the field.
- 01
Set it up from your phone
Bluetooth links the Mini to a nearby phone once, to register it to a sector of your farm.
- 02
Readings travel on their own
LoRaWAN carries readings over long distances to a KALON gateway at the edge of the farm.
- 03
Advice on your phone
KALON passes readings to SoilPulse, and advice comes back in your language.
Proposed specifications
SoilPulse Mini.
- Head
- 45 × 32 × 22 mm, with an off-white cover and a forest-green base
- Height
- About 82 mm overall
- Sensing
- Five exposed stainless steel rods, 60 mm long
- Inside
- Controller, radio, compact battery and antenna in one sealed head
- Status
- A small status light on the front
- Connection
- Proposed: LoRaWAN through a KALON field gateway, with Bluetooth for setting it up from a nearby phone
- Stage
- Industrial design concept. Electronics, sealing, battery life and radio range still need engineering validation
The Mini is a design concept, not a finished product. Its sensing, sealing, battery life and radio range have not yet been tested, and every detail here may change.
