Development of Intelligent Control System for Greenhouse

Various informatization agricultural supporting systems have been developed using ICT (information andcommunication technologies) to improve agricultural productivity. However agriculture is very complex system ingeneral and thus is strictly influenced by climate, weather, soil conditions, crop types, and so on. Authors have also proposed the supporting system called “Agri-eye” in which a field monitoring, crop growth and quality evaluation,work recording, and online … Read more

Let’s know the Arduino

Winter @ kashiihama. Firstly i heard about Arduino when I was study in Electrical Engineering, just heard from my friend who takes thesis topic about arduino for home controlling. I have been looking for a while to his device and just thinking that not related to my thesis in that time.

After discuss and listen to research presentation in end year seminar, about system measuring in tractor movement using arduino by Fukushima Sensei from Mie University, our research team consider to adopt this technology for improve field monitoring and actuating system. In other hand, we have to familiar first with this device and how to program it. Actually this is my first time to do research with arduino, that’s why I start  to learn from official site and step by step to know what is arduino.
