Developing a Smart FarmUsing Low-Cost Electronics and Civil Engineering Background
BACKGROUND
What I did
Decided to pursue programming
How I got involved in Smart Farm
1. Fascination with hardware
Failed Rover Project
Learned hardware programming through helping student thesis.
Joined hardware beta testing for free hardware.
2. Love for agriculture
My mother is an agriculturist
I always have a home garden whenever space permits.
I love aquaculture
3. Got invited to build a proof of concept of a food computer.
FOOD COMPUTER
Replicate the planting condition
Recipe

Hardware Design
● No monitor/No display○ Setup is done via Raspi AP
● Arduino and Raspi communicates via serial port.
● Arduino handles sensor and actuator controls● Raspi communicates with the server and
Arduino● Uses flask
Server Design
