Project Background Problem: Temperature flucuations inside
a greenhouse that utilizes bubble insulation technology when the weather is changing to maintain the life of different plans
This also is manually controlled so, no consistent monitoring is taking place and the bubbles must be turned on when the weather changes
Project Background Solution: To implement temperature
sensors so that this information can be grabbed and automatically relayed to a database for consistent monitoring and automate when the bubble insulation technology must take place above or below specified temperatures to remove manual control
Project Background How: This is done through Arduino
Boards, a pump, Python Scripts, and a web server utilizing various server services which run to effectively grab the information
Accomplishments Functional mesh network between the Arduino
Boards Successful installation and configuration of the
Arduino Software and other server services Scripts that successfully logged the temperature Communication established between
fluctuations in temperature for what the sensors read
All necessary information logged and recorded System successfully installed in greenhouse
Lessons Learned Arduino Boards and software Ubuntu configuration (scripts,
commands, installations) Python Scripting techniques Arduino codes, rates, and matching
Python Scripts Trial and Error with scripts Troubleshoot
Budget Projected Budget: Hardware/Software - $806.15 Operating Costs - $35,520.00 Total - $36,326.15
Budget Actual Budget: Hardware/Software - $821.00 Operating Costs - $18,800.00 Total - $19,621.00
Conclusion Solved the problem of automating
insulation in a greenhouse Fixed the issue of monitoring and
logging the information Various installations, troubleshooting,
and problem solving encountered Cost effective project for prospective
groups to expand upon
