Design and Implementation of Wireless Sensor Network for Monitoring and Controlling of Filter Backflush in Drip Irrigation System
Abstract
Aim of this research was to design, prototype development and implement
a wireless sensor network, which can provide data monitoring and enable the control
of backflush in a drip irrigation system filtration unit. Study was conducted
at two steps as hardware & software design and outdoor tests. In hardware
design step, microcontroller, radio module, general purpose input-outputs and
other electronic components were selected, and PCB was manufactured. In
software design step, firmware, web-based user interface and mobile application
was developed. The system was tested in an agricultural enterprise which is located
in Salihli-Manisa. Results showed that, developed wireless sensor network can
be successfully used to monitor and control backflush in drip irrigation
systems.
