An algorithm based low cost automated system for irrigation with soil moisture sensor

摘要

In this paper one of the application of Arduino mega 2560 board and ultrasonic sensors for social modernization of embedded technology is presented. Wireless path following system in irrigation process of land is proposed as per the requirement of land. The sensors are used to detect the motion and soil moisture level of land. The objective is to build an autonomous, self-calibrating advance robot embedded with sensors and actuators that can be used for irrigation operation of agriculture. It is the primary way for production of crops with the operations like ploughing, seeding, irrigation, manuring, weeding. The robot is a composition of three main parts: electric circuit, mechanical design and algorithm. With the development of technology, automation is channelized with the process to facilitate the irrigation to increase the yield of crops and conservation of water resource and time. Row motion and alignment serve important role for smooth control of irrigation in the field and information is send to the user through coded output on any output device. In this paper the main focus is for irrigation.
