2025 - 4TH Q



Previously, we developed a system intended for water tank monitoring, and we recently revived this older project. The ESCA-AQUA, a simplified approach to monitoring the activity of a water tank, is in the process of being adapted for a domestic setting where two parallel tanks need to be monitored.

We will publish details as the project progresses during the following months.

The Aqua, as the name suggests, is intended as part of a water tank or resevoir monitoring and control system. In many communities in South Africa, infrastructure does not always support a reliable supply of fresh water. Residents, therefore, have installed reserve tanks at their homes to harvest rain water and dew. While this does benefit the household, during the dry season monitoring the use of the harvested water ensures its economical use.

The ESCA Aqua is also intended for wireless applications in remote areas, and owing to this it supports the LORA module detailed below.

Make Electronics, our Durban based distributor, has developed a LORA module based on the Ai Thinker Ra-01S range of LORA devices. We have developed an adaptor board for the module that will enable the LORA Module to be utilised with the ESCA-AQUA and other projects.

The module is in the development stage and will be available soon.

For those familiar with the MikroBus Click, the form factor is readily recognisable and therefore the module will integrate with any existing development board or production system. The module functions as an adaptor for the LORA device without closing off access to the other PINS and I/O that are exposed.
