ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the development of data logger of agricultural field parameter monitoring system with MATLAB. The system comprises of Arduino, water level sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor, soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor, smoke detector, power supply, PC with MATLAB. The system is designed to monitor the environment and agriculture field parameters. The field device is designed to collect all physical parameters and same is communicated serially to MATLAB with I/O package. MATLAB is a programming language platform by MathWorks. It is used for, matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms and user interfaces. MATLAB applications include, signal processing and communications, Image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, computational biology and so on.
