Arduino Soil moisture sensor

Mobile Control Soil Moisture

              The Mobile Controlled soil checker helps the presence of water in the soil, which could be controlled with the help of Smart phones. The application which is in Smart phone allows it to control the movement of vehicle and also check the presence of water in the soil. The vehicle could be controlled in certain directions such that Front, Back, Left, Right. The servo placed in help the control the movement of soil moisture sensor and soil moisture sensor checks the water presence. The serial monitor in mobile helps in monitoring the vehicle movement and also water presence in the soil.

Apparatus required

1)    Arduino               
2)    Motor Shield                          
3)    Hc-05bluetooth module          
4)    Soil moisture sensor               
5)    Servo                                      
6)    Chasser and Motors                             

*Click the above things to buy it.

Connection

·        Connect Arduino to the motor shield and connect the two motors to  the motor shield with respect to source code
·        Connect the servo with the motor shield in the servo port with respect to source code.
·        Connect the soil moisture sensor output to the A0 and vcc to +5V and Ground to the Ground pin.
·        Connect the Bluetooth module TX pin to Arduino RX pin and the Bluetooth RX pin to Arduino TX pin and +5V and Ground to the Ground pin.

Mobile Monitering
                  
                  Check out these photos to know its working


                     The Black box which allows to knows the movement and control of the vehicles. The arrows allows it for control of directions.

Up = 1      Left = 2    Stop = 3     Right = 4    Back = 5     Soil Checker = 6

*Data which is sent from mobile application to HC-05 Bluetooth module when respective buttons are pressed.

Who founded ISRO?  Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was founded by Jawaharlal Nehru, who is the First Prime Minister of INDIA and Scientist Vikram Sarabhai, who is known as the father of space programs in the year 1962 as Indian National Com...

Creating Artificial Planet

Already our Earth is loosing the habitable tendency due to the deforestation, Climate changes, etc. These all causes our Earth as inhabitable planet, for life better we should move into another planet to move into another planet we could create our own planet. But, it is possible to build a planet as like Earth with Atmosphere, Air, Water, Moderate Temperature, Gravity, etc. Theoretically, it is said we could build a planet like Earth. We could build our own planet right in our solar system for constant temperature as we get in our planet “Earth”. We could probably use asteroids in our solar system to build our artificial planet, but we are having only lower amount of asteroids in our solar system so we cannot build a planet as we expected so we are going to use OORT CLOUD to build our Artificial Planet but problem with this OORT CLOUD is it is so far from our Earth, we haven’t still invented that fast vehicle to bring that materials here, so this case could not help us. We have ...

SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR USING ARDUINO WITH CONNECTION AND CODE

SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR USING ARDUINO WITH CONNECTION AND CODE Soil moisture sensor is the sensing element which determine the volumetric amount of water in the soil .The sensor sense the amount of water by passing an minute voltage at its terminal .Then when the water presence is detected it send an minute voltage to the amplifying circuit and it is further amplified and send to the Arduino. Components Required:                       1) Arduino                       2) Soil Moisture sensor                       3) Led                       4) Connecting wires...
