Semi-automatic smart vertical farm

Objectives

  • To build functional semi-automated smart vertical farm prototype with an working principle of: HYDROPONICS
  • Bekijk de klimaatomstandigheden van de verticale boerderij
  • Monitor the vertical farm water conditions
  • Automatically adjust light, oxygen, water, nutritients, co2 level, and temperature for specified plant
  • To build functional semi-automated smart vertical farm prototype with an working principle of: HYDROPONICS
  • Monitor the vertical farm climate conditions (Temperature, humidity & co2 levels)
  • Automatically adjust light, water and temperature for specified plant

Structure - design

  • Kader werd gegeven
  • Eenvoudig maar functioneel
  • Software AutoCAD

Structure - outcome

  • Success
  • Time consumable
  • Reduced functionalities

IceBlocks

  • Simple
  • No need for a “master”
  • Distributed physically as well
  • Digital IO

NXTStudio

  • Single tool
  • According to IEC 61499
  • User interface

Raspberry PI

  • Sensors connected to Raspberry PI using I2C protocol
  • Obtain and package sensor data using python script
  • Data sent to IceBlocks using UDP
  • Raspberry PI sends a string consisting of different values through UPD that is parsed to different inputs in NXT program
  • Making use of existing python modules to read sensor data from each device
