Aim
The aim of the project during the rainy seasons the cultivated crops gets affected due to the heavy rain fall. The main theme of this project is that to prevent the crops from the heavy rain
Problem statement
Protecting crops from excessive rain is crucial to prevent damage and maintain agricultural yield. The challenge is to create an automatic roof control system that can detect rainfall and deploy protective coverings, such as tarps or retractable roofs, over crops in a timely and cost-effective manner, while also considering factors like the size of the agricultural area and the need for manual intervention.
Material used
Input: Rain sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Rain sensor
The function of Rain Sensor is to detect the Rain and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Servo motor
The function of the servo motor is to move the roof
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Rain Sensor and control the Servo Motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case – 1: When rain is detected, the rain sensor (input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace sensor board (brain). The sensor board turns ON the Servo Motor (output).
Case – 2: When no rain is detected, the rain sensor turns OFF. Hence the sensor board turns OFF the Servo Motor.
Rain sensor turns on – Roof closes (90 degree)
Rain sensor turns off – Roof opens (0 degree)
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the Rain sensor to INPUT 2 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Servo Motor to Output 1 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
