GSM Based Agricultural Motor Control Using Arduino
Abstract
Agriculture is one of biggest industry in India which serves food for more than a billion people every year. Producing vast amount of food is never an easy task; irrigation is one of the factors. Most of the agriculturist’s crop field is situated far from their residence, just turning on the water pump costs huge for their transportation per year. The advancement of technology has enabled the development of smart systems for various applications, including remote monitoring and control of devices. In this study, we present the design and implementation of a GSM-based agriculture Pump Motor Controller Circuit using Arduino microcontroller. The proposed system allows users to remotely monitor and control a pump motor using their mobile phones through SMS commands.
The system consists of an Arduino Uno microcontroller interfaced with a GSM module, a motor driver circuit, and sensors for monitoring parameters such as water level and motor status. The Arduino microcontroller processes the incoming SMS commands from the user's mobile phone and controls the operation of the pump motor accordingly. The GSM module facilitates communication between the user and the system by sending status updates and receiving control commands via SMS. The motor driver circuit ensures the efficient operation of the pump motor based on the commands received from the user. Additionally, the system incorporates sensors to provide real-time feedback on important parameters, enabling users to make informed decisions regarding the operation of the pump motor. The proposed GSM Pump Motor Controller Circuit offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for remote monitoring and control of pump motors, with potential applications in agriculture, irrigation systems, and water management.
