Wireless Data Acquisition for Farming

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to design a wireless multi-channel data acquisition system for a farming area. From this work, we can monitor the farming field, and identify where irrigation as well as fertilization are required by acquiring data like temperature, humidity, pH, moisture of the soil, etc., through multiple sensors. The data acquired from various sensors is transmitted continuously to the base station using Zigbee technology, all the data is received, and saved for records and also displayed for controlling action. it helps in identifying the required steps to be taken for efficient farming from a remote location. The system is designed in such a way that a layman can also operate it.
