Hello LiuDR community,

I’m relatively new to the world of Arduino and microcontrollers and trying to understand how to setup several sdi12 sensors that measure stream depth (pressure transducers) and one modbus meter in a pipe. The sensor data must be reported to the web using cellular data. The system must be solar powered.in case anyone is wondering this will be used in California to monitor water diverted from a river for agriculture. This is a requirement by the state water board for surface water diversions over a size (I forget the threshold)

That’s the end goal, but I think it’s more realistic to start with a simplified version that includes a single sdi12 pressure transducers. There is a lot of information on this website, but I haven’t seen an overview of how a full setup would be assemble.

questions:

is the LiuDR SDI-12 USB adapter appropriate for this application?

where is the best place to start researching something like this? Is there a beginners guide in the blog somewhere?

Do you have a description of a similar system that I can read about?

Thank you!

in case anyone is interested in my role, I work for a nonprofit that works with agricultural water users to apply management improvements that improve ecological function without hurting production. I use a lot of pressure transducers, and soil moisture sensors. Pulling data from the sensors takes time and sometimes results in error and lost data when loggers are not redeployed properly. I’d like to move toward a fully telemetered system as old sensors need replacement.
