Automation of a farm

This document proposes a system to automate a farm and monitor environmental conditions in real-time using a Raspberry Pi and Arduino board. Sensors would detect light levels, soil moisture, temperature, and humidity. The Raspberry Pi would connect to the internet and Arduino to receive analog sensor data. When light is low or soil moisture decreases, artificial light or a water pump would activate. A web interface would display current conditions and sensor readings over time to monitor the farm remotely.
Automation of a farm
- 1. USING RASPBERRY PI & ARDUINO BOARD AUTOMATION OF A FARM & REAL TIME ANALYSIS OF IT’S ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Submitted To- Dr. Nagar Project By- Parvesh Taneja Enroll. No.-130020201057 Subject- Internet of Things
- 2. 1 ABSTRACT For healthy growth of crops certain conditions should be favorable like temperature, Sun Light, Water and humidity. Global Warming is a big threat to crops and humans as well as animals. So we need to control all the conditions which might destroy our crops. Light – Detected using L.D.R Soil Moisture- Detected using Soil Moisture Sensor. Temperature & Humidity- Also will be detected by sensors. Raspberry Pi would be connected to Internet and to Arduino to add analog inputs to setup. Arduino would be connected to raspberry pi via USB (Also this will be used to get data from Arduino, serial monitor). A plugin then runs in the Server Density agent reads the data from Arduino board, a complete set of readings is received (or after a particular interval of time) – then the PI’s internet connectivity allows it to report the data back to Server Density for graphing and monitoring. When there is no light or very low intensity of light we can supply plants artificial light, Researchers at Purdue University claims that pink (Blue + Red) light is best for growth of some plants (Click_here_for_Article). When Soil moisture decreases pump will automatically start pumping. Temperature and humidity could be controlled using fans and water sprinkler system. All of the processes will be monitored online like- Present Conditions Graph will be plotted Status of pump and Fan could also be monitored. ITEMS REQUIRED Raspberry Pi Arduino Uno L.D.R. Soil Moisture Sensor Temperature Sensor Humidity Sensor Water Pump Cooling Fans Light Bulb or L.E.D. Connecting Wires Power Supply for Raspberry pi.(5v/2A) Relays.
- 3. 2 FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS Adding a camera so as to monitor and view live video of plants online remotely, Measuring height of the crop (plants), so as to keep track of growth rate. Monitoring Atmospheric pressure too (though it doesn’t vary much but one should be prepared for the worst situations.)
