Sistema de irrigação automatizada utilizando plataforma Arduino

Abstract

This work deals with a project of an automated irrigation system using the Arduino platform. Such an approach is necessary in order to reduce labor, more precise irrigation times and shifts and the efficient use of water. The purpose of this study is to find an effective solution to bring more convenience, safety and versatility to the user who, although he does not have enough time or knowledge to take the necessary measures, is able to obtain satisfactory results in his planting. This attempt will be achieved from the study of the Arduino microcontroller and through a literature search of drip irrigation systems, found in the book Dry Irrigation. The study showed that using Arduino, sensors, and water pumps, it is possible to create a system that measures soil moisture in real time and irrigates when necessary within a totally affordable cost.
