Hello everyone! I'm a college student in electronics engineering and I would like to ask help about using Arduino for IoT.
We will be using Arduino to wirelessly send the pH sensor's data to the Arduino cloud.
Is this possible? If so, how can I implement such an idea?
Our proposed materials are Arduino MEGA, NRF24L01 Wi-Fi module (transceiver), pH sensor, and battery.
My knowledge in IoT is not that big so I really need help for my project. Thank you so much!
If I'm not wrong..... The NRF24L01 is a 3.3 volt device and the Mega is a 5 volt device. What kind of device is the pH sensor?
Battery..... Several questions to handle. For how long time is the installation supposed to run before charging is allowed?
Battery management/protection against over discharging.
The NRF24L01 is a wireless module, not a WiFi module.
You need a WiFi board to upload data to the cloud.
ESP8266 and ESP32 boards are popular, but there are many more.
Leo..
Whatcha been doing for the last two years? Welcome back.
Do you have a sketch that can read the pH and print the value from the sensor?
What pH sensor do,you have there? Are there any examples sketches or technical information you can share?

I think your group needs to get together again and review their picks and be sure they will do what you want. From parts you are proposing they are not directly compatible with each other but will need level translation etc adding unnecessary complexity. Since you are a college student in electronics engineer you should know the language "schematics" so post one of your proposal. If you do not have the software download KiCad it is free and more than capable of going from idea to finished board.
