The intelligent buoy is designed to provide reliable water environment monitoring with a focus on efficiency and environmental sustainability. The core of the buoy is the ESP32 microcontroller, which functions as the control unit. It manages sensor operations, processes data, and ensures wireless transmission via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The buoy is powered by a battery, which is recharged during the day by two photovoltaic panels.
