Hey Dex, I've been dreaming about a tiny solar-powered garden sensor that watches soil moisture and sunlight—care to dive into that project with me?

Sounds cool, let's start by outlining what we need: a microcontroller, a soil moisture sensor, a light sensor, a tiny solar panel, a battery or supercapacitor, and some way to log or transmit the data. Which part do you want to tackle first?

Let’s start with the microcontroller, it’s the heart of the garden—pick a tiny, low‑power board like the ESP32 or Arduino Nano 33 IoT. It’ll keep everything humming and let us wire in the sensors, solar, and a little cloud log later. How does that feel?
