 The second prototype is more sophisticated and implements things that work in a more compact and also cleaner way. The second prototype is more sophisticated and implements things that work in a more compact and also cleaner way.
 It is still based on the RFM95 HopeRF Module on 868 Mhz. It's using a 18650 LiPo battery and also includes a Solar Charger, so a Solar Cell can be hooked up. Furthermore, a coulomb counter observers the power usage so it can be precisely determined if and how much current is used or if the battery is recharged. It is still based on the RFM95 HopeRF Module on 868 Mhz.

 Currently, we are running our final tests on these prototypes and will deploy some of these in the field for testing. One prototype, with a solar cell, is already running on our lab's terrace. Currently, we are running our final tests on these prototypes and will deploy some of these in the field for testing.

 +We installed one of the prototypes v2 with a bigger solar cell on a field near Goch. It´s right next to the river Niers. Because it rained the last days before installation, the field was partly flooded.

 +Because this particular field is used for cows in the summer, the wire needed to be buried underground. In the future the sensor node should be moved higher.
