This project was developed by a team of four people interested in creating a smart farm system. Our original idea was to design a scalable system that could operate at a full farm scale. However, given our limited time and resources, we decided to build a smaller, handheld kit instead. Since the core logic and system design were almost identical to what would be used on a large farm, this scaled-down approach turned out to be an excellent direction.
We designed the kit using 3 Arduino board and integrated various sensors and components to monitor and manage plant conditions:
- Temperature sensor
- Humidity sensor
- Water level sensor
- Servo motor
- Motor driver
- RFID module
- Water pump
- Cooling fan
My Role
I was responsible for controlling the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, water level sensor, pump, motor driver, and servo motor as part of my algorithm for the kit. Since I worked with most of the sensors, I also took charge of visualizing the sensor data and integrating controls into a GUI system, ensuring easy and intuitive user interaction.
