Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to develop a node, part of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), for application in precision agriculture and family crop. The controlling of sensors use the Arduino Development Platform and the communication among nodes is done by MRF24J40MA, transceiver modules Zigbee. The system comprises a firmware and two plates, one of them for control and communication among the nodes and the other for sensing. Then, this paper and its prospects will allow more effective treatment to the problems such as energy waste, water and agricultural defensives as well as the quantitative and qualitative control, and irrigation processes.
