Raspberry Pi based Soil Parameters Monitoring Device using Sensors

Abstract

The development in the field of technology has reduced the involvement of the manual work that is numerous new devices and techniques are replacing the conventional methods. Green house plantations , large scale gardening and farming are few among many trends that are being adopted in the present time. Reduction in the availability of laborers has urged for the more efficient techniques for the management of the plants. In order to overcome such situations, our project aims at monitoring soil parameters such as soil pH, moisture content and surrounding temperature. These three parameters are crucial factors for the proper plant growth. We are using a single processing chip Raspberry Pi as it is efficient and affordable. The real time data can be accessed by the owner of the land which helps him monitor the current soil parameters and can thus prevent the damage whenever there is an extreme variation in these parameters.
