CocoaMate Mini

Cost-effective ESP32 handheld monitor with a touch TFT display and Wi-Fi cloud transmission.

Carry cocoa monitoring into the field and processing area. CocoaMate Mini uses an ESP32 and touch-enabled TFT display to show current sensor readings locally, with Wi-Fi transmission to the cloud. It covers the same soil, air, solid-temperature, grain-moisture and pH measurement categories as CocoaMate Pro in a cost-effective handheld format.

Student view

How to understand this product.

Learn how an ESP32 combines multiple sensor readings, a touch display and Wi-Fi connectivity in a portable monitoring product.

What you can learn

  • Reading and presenting multiple sensor values with an ESP32
  • Understanding NPK, soil moisture, soil temperature, pH and EC
  • Building touch-screen measurement views
  • Sending local sensor readings to a cloud service over Wi-Fi
  • Choosing measurements for crop, fermentation and drying stages

A simple project flow

  1. Connect the appropriate sensors and take a reading at the crop or processing location.
  2. Review current values on the TFT touch display.
  3. Use the Wi-Fi connection to transmit readings to the cloud for remote review.

Real-world applications

Example projects showing what this product can read, control and report. Each requires the appropriate sensors, connected equipment and application software.

Handheld cocoa field checks

Example: carry the device between sampling locations and use the seven-in-one soil sensor to check NPK, soil temperature, moisture, pH and EC. Review current values on the touch display and transmit readings over Wi-Fi when a network is available.

Fermentation spot checks

Example: use the solid-temperature and pH sensors to inspect a fermentation batch. Read the measurements alongside air temperature and humidity on the handheld display, then send readings to the cloud to support operator review.

Drying-area monitoring

Example: measure grain moisture and surrounding air temperature and humidity at a drying location. Workers review current readings on the device and use the cloud connection to share measurements while assessing progress against their process targets.
