Abstract

Agriculture is an important component of the primary sector and is also used to develop both secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy. Therefore, agriculture is the backbone of India. Farmers suffer from various problems like debts, crop failure, mental health, technology, water problems, etc. A system has been proposed in this paper to improve farming in a sustainable method using the existing technology. Flow rate -controlled water sprinkler using a PID controller which is executed using NI LabVIEW and a interfacing device NI myRIO, has been designed. NI LabVIEW is a graphical programming tool for validation and resolving system. Sensors like the rain sensor and moisture sensor are interfaced with NI LabVIEW, with the help of NI myRIO. A flow sensor is interfaced with NI myRIO through a UART connection. Sprinkling of water to the crops based on the requirement of the soil has been accomplished using this proposed system.
