Abstract

Nowadays, it is accepted that climate change can threaten food safety. Losses in production areas due to climate change have the potential to create major devastating effects. In agricultural areas, rapid and effective measures should be taken against climate parameters that are not under human control. For this purpose, approaches such as precision or smart agriculture are becoming widespread. Low cost microcontroller-based devices that can help to take the necessary measures by rapidly measuring the basic climate parameters are gaining importance especially in the lands of small scale agricultural enterprises. For this purpose, developed a customizable and re-programmable datalogger system which can measure the basic meteorological values for agricultural purposes under field conditions with low-cost parts. The system consist of an Ardunio UNO R3 microcontroller card, a Bosch Sensortech BME280 integrated environmental sensor, a data storage unit, a LCD and an USB supported battery unit which allows the system to be used as a portable. The BME280 sensor is widely used in scientific studies, can measure air pressure, relative humidity and temperature, and communicate with microcontrollers. For the operation of the system, a software was developed in Arduino IDE (Internal Development Environment) and installed on microcontroller of Arduino UNO R3. The system was left on outdoor conditions with a top cover for one week in spring and one week in summer and it was found that it could record data continuously for one hour intervals.

Abstract

Günümüzde, iklim değişikliğinin gıda güvenliğini tehdit edebileceği kabul edilmektedir. İklim değişikliğinden dolayı üretim alanlarındaki kayıplar büyük yıkıcı etkiler yaratma potansiyeline sahiptir. Tarımsal alanlarda, insan kontrolünde olmayan iklim parametrelerine karşı hızlı ve etkili önlemler alınmalıdır. Bu amaçla hassas veya akıllı tarım gibi yaklaşımlar yaygınlaşmaktadır. Özellikle küçük ölçekli tarım işletmelerinin arazileri için temel iklim parametrelerini hızla ölçerek gerekli önlemlerin alınmasına yardımcı olabilecek düşük maliyetli mikrodenetleyici tabanlı cihazlar giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, tarımsal amaçlar için temel meteorolojik değerleri düşük maliyetli parçalarla tarla koşullarında ölçebilen özelleştirilebilir ve yeniden programlanabilir bir veri kaydedici sistem geliştirilmiştir. Sistem bir Ardunio UNO R3 mikrodenetleyici kartı, bir Bosch Sensortech BME280 entegre çevre sensörü, bir veri depolama birimi, bir LCD ve sistemin taşınabilir olarak kullanılmasını sağlayan USB destekli bir pil biriminden oluşur. BME280 sensörü bilimsel çalışmalarda yaygın olarak kullanılmakta, hava basıncını, bağıl nemi ve sıcaklığı ölçebilmekte ve mikrodenetleyicilerle iletişim kurabilmektedir. Sistemin çalışması için Arduino IDE'de (Dâhili Geliştirme Ortamı) bir yazılım geliştirilmiş ve Arduino UNO R3'de bulunan mikrodenetleyiciye kurulmuştur. Sistem ilkbaharda bir hafta ve yazın bir hafta boyunca, üzerine koruyucu bir muhafaza konularak dış mekân koşullarında bırakılmış ve bir saat aralıklarla sürekli veri kaydedebildiği bulunmuştur.
