gsm based agriculture motor control circuit diagram
Irrigating crops with the exactly right amount of water is a tedious task, especially when you have to walk a long distance to the irrigation pump in the middle of the night to check whether any problem (fish getting stuck in the intake and as a result the irrigation motor burning or jamming!) has occured. As I saw my uncles tired of doing the same, I felt there had to be some remote controlled solution to their problems.
I started to think about a system, which would:
1. Detect jamming of the motor and immediately shut it down.
2. Be cost effective.(Less than $150)
3. Remotely turn on and off the irrigation motor.
4. Send back a message to the operator, if an error occured.
And thus came the brainstorm to build the "SMS controlled Wireless Irrigation System" . I also wanted to submit this to the Sparkfun Microcontroller Contest , so it was all the more reason for me to go straight to building the prototype.
The prototype could do the following:
1. Be remotely controlled via SMSs through a cellular GSM network.
2. Send back ERROR messages to the operator, if the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) was tripped due to electrical faults or motor jamming.
3. Control loads of up to 15 amps.
The fruits of my work is detailed in this ible.
P.S I suggest that you read through the entire Instructable before starting.
