Power: Arduino UNO board can be powered by external power supply using USB connection (Figure 9.2). It works on 5 V DC power supply, so board can be either connected with laptop through USB cable, or adapter can be used which converts AC into DC power supply. Board can also operate on 6–​20 V power… Continue reading Arduino UNO description

Arduino is an organization which designs software and develops open source hardware and software based on microcontroller boards. Electronics projects are built using this open source board. Different types of Arduino boards are available like UNO, Lily pad, Nano, Mega etc. Arduino UNO is based on microcontroller ATMga328. It has 14 digital input/output pins, out… Continue reading Arduino

The following tools/components were used to build this project:

In many parts of the country, for watering of crops different irrigation methods are used like tube wells, canals and by pumping ground water with the help of heavy motors that operate on electricity. Ground water pumping with motor depends upon electricity availability during day and night times which leads to high electricity consumption. Sometimes… Continue reading Some applications of IoT in agriculture

Agriculture is one of the oldest and predominant fields in every country’s economic growth that acts as its backbone. The origin of the word agriculture is from the Latin word “ager”, which means land, and “culture”, which means cultivation. Like India in some other countries also the largest population income depends on farming practices. This… Continue reading Introduction
