Design and Calibration of a Micro-controller System Suitable for Greenhouse Climate Control
Keywords:
precision farming, weather station, climate control, sensors, microcontrollerAbstract
The authors’ aim is to show that the IoT-connected or analogue memory-based measuring stations and controllers that are in vogue in Agriculture 4.0 can be created by anyone at home, task-specifically and economically, as an alternative to the more expensive measuring instruments produced by large companies. Our work has resulted in a measurement data logger system that, in its current state, is capable of measuring air temperature and relative humidity and storing the measurement data. After testing and calibrating the data logger, we found that it is comparable in accuracy to other products on the market, and is flexible, expandable and customisable. By incorporating switch-mode transistors and adding program code, this device could form the basis of a climate control automation system used in many areas of agriculture, such as modern greenhouses, foil tents, stables or warehouses.
