Создание гибридной IoT-системы: интеграция датчиков ESP32 с одноплатными компьютерами Radxa.
Why Go Hybrid? The Best of Both Worlds in IoT
In the world of Internet of Things (IoT), developers often face a dilemma: Should I use a low-power microcontroller like the ESP32, or a powerful Single Board Computer (SBC) like a Радкса board? The answer for professional-grade projects is usually: Use both.
В ESP32s.com, we advocate for a hybrid architecture. In this guide, we will walk you through building a real-world “Smart Agriculture Monitoring System.” You will learn how to use ESP32 modules for reliable, low-power data collection, and a Radxa SBC as a local Linux server to process, store, and visualize that data.
The Architecture: Edge Nodes + Local Server
Our project relies on a classic two-tier architecture:
- Edge Nodes (ESP32): Responsible for reading sensors (temperature, humidity, soil moisture) and sending data over the local Wi-Fi network via TCP or MQTT.
- Local Server (Radxa SBC): Acts as the central brain. It runs a full Linux OS (like Debian), hosts a local database (SQLite), and provides a dashboard for real-time monitoring.
️ Step 1: Setting Up the Радкса Local Server
For the central server, we recommend the Radxa ZERO 3W for compact setups, or the Radxa ROCK 5 if you plan to run heavy AI analytics later. For this tutorial, we will focus on setting up the local server environment.
1. Flash the OS:
Download the official Debian Linux image for your Радкса board and flash it to an SD card or eMMC module. Boot up the board and connect it to your local Wi-Fi router.

2. Install Dependencies:
Since we are running a full Linux OS, we can easily install powerful tools. Open your terminal and install the necessary libraries for TCP communication and database management:

We will write a simple C++ or Python server script that listens for incoming TCP connections from our Узлы ESP32. The server will parse the incoming sensor data and store it in a local SQLite database. Using SQLite is ideal for embedded Linux systems because it is lightweight, serverless, and highly reliable for logging sensor data.

Step 2: Programming the ESP32 Edge Nodes
Now, let’s set up the data collectors. We will use an ESP32 или ESP32-S3 dev board connected to standard DHT11/DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors.
1. Hardware Setup:
Connect your sensor to the ESP32’s GPIO pins. Ensure your ESP32 и Радкса server are connected to the same Wi-Fi router to form a local area network (LAN).

- Read sensor data every 5 seconds.
- Establish a TCP connection to the Радкса server’s IP address.
- Send the data packet (e.g.,
{"temp": 25.5, "humid": 60}). - Optional: For remote access, you can also program the ESP32 to push data to a cloud platform (like Bafa Cloud) via MQTT, allowing you to monitor your farm from your phone when you are away.
Step 3: Data Visualization & Remote Access
One of the biggest advantages of using a Radxa SBC over a simple microcontroller is the ability to run full-featured web servers and visualization tools.
- Local Dashboard: You can deploy a lightweight web server (like Nginx or a Python Flask app) on the Радкса board to display real-time charts of your soil moisture and temperature data pulled from the SQLite database.
- Remote Monitoring: If you want to check your data from outside your local network, you can set up an MQTT bridge on the Радкса board. The Узлы ESP32 push data to the Радкса, and the Радкса forwards it to the cloud. This keeps your local network fast and reliable while still offering remote accessibility.
