Revolutionizing Precision Farming with Wireless Embedded Systems
- Precision agriculture is an advanced farming practice that uses technology to monitor and manage agricultural operations with high accuracy.
- A Precision farming data acquisition system using embedded devices is being put forward in this article.
- A reliable method of data transmission is essential for sending sensor data to a centralized location for cloud storage and further processing. The choice between wireless or wired modes will depend on the farm’s existing infrastructure.
- Popular choices of wireless technologies include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, LoRaWAN, and Zigbee and LoRaWAN is a spread spectrum modulation technique commonly used in precision farming, IoT, and for building smart cities attributing majorly because of its range, data rate, and power consumption.
- Considerations for choosing the right Wireless Long Range MCUs for precision farming include low power consumption, wireless protocol support, network architecture, MCU architecture, security, memory, I/O interfaces, and sensors for precision farming.
- Soil moisture sensors, electrochemical sensors such as NPK, pH Acidity, Salinity, and GPS receivers for mapping fields are necessary sensors for precision farming.
- This article provides key considerations for selecting the right MCU for an embedded system, enabling the creation of cost-effective precision farming solutions with long-range connectivity.
