Design of Embedded Web monitoring System to measure pH of water using Wireless Sensor network for Hydroponics applications

Abstract

This paper mainly focuses on remote monitoring of pH value of water. Although it is perhaps one of the most important aspects, pH is very important in hydroponic and organic as well as regular soil gardening. We have proposed a low cost solution for measurement of pH using ARM LPC2148 at the base station and ARM9 mini2440 board at the server side. There are many advantages of growing vegetables and fruits hydroponically compared to soil. Our work is to design a Wireless sensor network (WSN) based embedded system for remote monitoring since; hydroponic is one of the emerging methods in agriculture field. The Zigbee has been used for wireless communication
