Dear friends,
Today, I just finished compiling and testing my codes for Arduino and SIM900 Arduino module. I have one land plot and going to grow avocado plants in coming raining season. I will be able to grow 30 avocado plants 18ft and 20 feet apart from one another. And I am going to install SMS controlled water sprinkling system for my plants as below.
And I have already constructed a water tank to provide water to the plants in summer. My land plot is only half an acre so I hope the water tank is sufficient enough for the plants and to hold water from one water tanker.
My land plot is about 15 miles away from my home and I am going to controller the motor pumps for the sprinkling system with SIM900 Arduino module and an Arduino Uno board from my home. And I am going to install water level sensing system to know if the tank has enough water. For that, I will use three float which for triggering the levels of water.
And I have tested the codes for them already. How the codes work is as follow.

I have tested with my phone and I was happy that it worked as I desired because I have been working on it since yesterday.
For the motor pumps and pipe lines, I have chosen them already and have to order from another town. And for the power supply, because there is no grid nearby my plot, I am going to use solar panel and a battery with a DC water pump. I am going to design and test a system for it. And I will need to build a small house for sheltering the system. See you again until next time.
