<FeatureList>

<Feature title="Smart agriculture" image="uv-sensor">

Particularly suited to smart agriculture, the sensors can collect real-time data such as weather conditions, soil quality, crop growth, amongst others. All this data can be monitored from the cloud and control actions like irrigation can be automatically fired or remote controlled.

</Feature>

<Feature title="nRF52840" image="mcu">

The Edge Control features a powerful processor, the nRF52840 from Nordic Semiconductors, a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M4 CPU running at 64 MHz.

<Feature title="Watermark Sensors" image="humidity-sensor">

The Edge Control can handle up to 16 watermark sensor inputs, being a suitable solution for soil humidity measurements on big crop fields.

</Feature>

<Feature title="Solid State Relays" image="settings">

The Edge Control features four galvanically isolated solid state relays (SSR) that can handle up to 2.5 A and 60 VAC.

</Feature>

<Feature title="4-20 mA Sensors" image="communication">

The Edge Control features four 4-20 mA sensor inputs, perfect to support a vast variety of industrial sensors.

</Feature>

<Feature title="Latching Outputs" image="connection">

The Edge Control features eight latching outputs, perfect for driving latching motorized or solenoid valves.

<Feature title="Power Flexibility" image="power">

Particularly suited to smart agriculture, the sensors can collect real-time data such as weather conditions, soil quality, crop growth, amongst others. Once sent to the Arduino Cloud, the data value chain becomes valuable analytics that supports business processes at various levels (e.g. crop yield, equipment efficiency, staff performance, etc.). The Arduino Edge Control has the capability to improve crop quality and reduce human effort/error by automating processes like irrigation, fertilization, or pest control.
The Edge Control can be powered by a 12 VDC power supply or by a lead-acid battery. Also, it supports a solar panel connection to recharge the battery and ensure the device functions even in remote off-the-grid deployments.
