J1 is a connector, with the specific model being FTSH-105-01-L-DV-007-K, which is manufactured by Analog Devices. Connectors are hardware interfaces used for linking various electronic components together, providing the ability for electric current to flow between different regions of a circuit.
In the context of this project, J1 plays a vital role in enabling various functionalities. It has several pin connections, each with a specific role. Here are key pins and their functionalities:
  1. Pins 1, 3, 5 are all tied to the main power rail 3V3, supplying the board and its components with the required power. Pin 1 is "VTref" (voltage reference), which indicates this pin might be used for setting a reference voltage for the system.
  2. Pin 2 ("SWDIO/TMS") and Pin 4 ("SWDCLK/TCK") are connected to the SWDIO and SWCLK nets respectively. These are most likely used for Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface which is used for debugging and programming the microcontroller (U2: STM32L031G6U6S).
  3. Pin 10 ("RESET") is tied to the "RST" net, which typically would be used to reset the microcontroller or another digital system.
  4. Pin 8 is named "NC/TDI", where NC usually denotes 'Not Connected', and TDI stands for "Test Data In" used in JTAG interface but since it's labeled as 'NC', it might not be used in this context.
  5. Pin 6 ("SWO/TDO") could be used for Serial Wire Output or Test Data Output, both of which are used for debugging purposes.
  6. Pin 9 ("GNDDetect") is likely tied to ground.
Please note that true functionality might depend on the overall system design and implementation.

Project
U1
U1 is the U1 LoRa transceiver module. It provides the wireless communication link for the soil monitor by using the LoRa protocol at 915 MHz. In this design, it interfaces with the microcontroller (U2) via SPI, transmitting and receiving data over long distances while maintaining low power consumption.
