IRIV IO Controller Series: RS-485 (Modbus) → Ethernet → Cloud (Blynk / ThingSpeak / MQTT) + Agricult

Read RS-485 Modbus sensors on IRIV, send data via WIZnet W5x00 to Blynk, ThingSpeak, and MQTT (Adafruit IO), then build an irrigation automation example.

IRIV IO Controller Series: RS-485 (Modbus) → Ethernet → Cloud (Blynk / ThingSpeak / MQTT) + Agricult

Project description

This series shows how to read RS-485 (Modbus RTU) sensors on the IRIV IO Controller and send data over Ethernet using a WIZnet W5x00 driver (CircuitPython) to three cloud paths—Blynk, ThingSpeak, and MQTT (Adafruit IO)—and then apply it to an agriculture automation example (moisture-based pump control).
