Project Information
Project Title: Crop Monitoring System
Hardware & Software Used:
VI only completed
Intend to use Moisture and Temperature Sensor
NI Usb 6009
What challenge/problem are you trying to solve through your application:
Water wastage in irrigation
Crop losses due to over watering and under watering
How does your application solves the above mentioned challenge/problem:
We have created a system that waters crop only when moisture reaches below certain level.
This system operates at definite intervals of time; it senses the quantity of water present in the soil and the
Irrigates the crops only if it is necessary.
Areas of Application
1-Can be used in farms and plantations to irrigate the crops efficiently
when the availability of water and Electric power are the limiting factors.
2-Can be used to irrigate the plants grown in houses,offices,parks e.t.c.
3-Can be used to irrigate the crops automatically in the farms that are
found far away from human habitation
ADVANTAGES
1-Consumes less power, irrigates smartly and ensures maximum crop quality.
2-Can be used to control all types of irrigations such as sprinkler, drip
3-Easy to operate.
4-Eliminates the need for human labour that is required for manual irrigation.
5- Higher reliability, efficiency and life.
6- Affordable.
Description of Project:
The Project has a main VI named "Moisture Measurement.vi". It performs two fuction in two different loops to avoid timing delays and dependency. It firstly acquire sensor data from A0 and A1 pins
of NI USB 6009 and secondly processes it to give suitable warning. We intend to use two sensors- Moisture and Temperature.
In the processing part of "Moisture Measurment.vi" there are 5 steps executed one after the other, which are-
1-Analysis
This uses a vi named " Analysis of Data.vi" to take avg of the temp and Moisture signal to get a single temp and moisture values.
2-Process UI
ITt shows a temperature and moisture history on the front panel
3- Set Warning
This uses a vi named "Warning determination Zak.vi" to determine the kind of warning to be issued on front panel
4-Data Log
This case writes the acquired data on a text file( created outside the loop by a vi named "Initilize file.vi) for a record
5-Stop
Stops loop execution
