A SENSIBLE FARM WATERING STRATEGY USING MUD HUMIDITY AND HEAT

Abstract

The aim of coordinator node would be to collect the parameters like soil moisture and soil temperature wirelessly. Each sensor node includes soil moisture and soil temperature sensor and something ZigBee RF antenna device for communication using the coordinator node. The Apache server crated on Raspberry Pi easily displaying the items in sensor data. Raspberry Pi stores collected data within the database and analyzes the stored data. The machine works based on the formula produced for watering the crop. The module includes, recognition probe, and sensor board. It's getting triple output mode, digital, analog, and serial with exact readings. Within this paper, Raspberry Pi can be used being an embedded Linux board that is designed in line with the arm 11 microcontroller architecture. Embedded Linux board helps make the communication with all of distributed sensor nodes put into the farm through ZigBee protocol and itself behave as a coordinated node within the wireless sensor network. The ZigBee protocol can be used for wireless communication it'll create network easily and mixture of Arduino, Xbee and sensor produce a low power affordable sensor node. More water contained in the soil helps make the soil conduct electrical current easier indicate less resistance, while dry soil getting less water conducts electricity poorly indicate more resistance. The board comes with an Ethernet interface and runs the straightforward data server
