A plataforma Arduino como estratégia tecnológica na criação de um sistema de irrigação de baixo custo para hortaliças

Abstract

This work presents the results of the development of a device for a low-cost automated management system, using an Arduino Uno platform, which is an ATMEGA328 microcontrolled board. Assigned, it is designated as the importance of water for irrigation components and for crop productivity, and then they are important as features of the software components. The system is capable of activating a ground sensor by a low sensor (low cost probe). A relay allows the activation of a water pump for soil irrigation. Preliminary tests planned according to the irrigation system capable of maintaining the humidity of the individual planting, a pre-defined percentage of planting (pots, beds, beds) and the species used. The advanced equipment was considered low cost, around R$500.00, and can be improved and customized with additional sensors as needed. The Arduino Efficiency Experimental System Planner does not prove soil moisture control for the low cost of the irrigation system.
