Irrigation system in India has given a high priority in economic development. Many new concepts are being developed to allow agricultural automation to flourish and deliver its full potential. To take full advantage of these technologies, we should not just consider the implication of developing a new single technology but should look at the wider issues for complete development of a system. The main aim of this project is to design and implementation of GSM based irrigation control system using Arduino and GSM. The GMS module is connected to Arduino. When the farmer sending a message to turn ON the motor, it will be received by the GSM module. Then GSM module forwards this message as a signal to the Arduino board. After this, the Arduino will make the relay input HIGH, resulting in turning ON the motor pump and this way our smart irrigation system will start supplying the water to crops. The procedure remains same while turning OFF the motor. This time the farmer will send a message to turn OFF the motor, and the relay output will be made LOW which is then followed by the shutdown of the water pump. Here relay woks as a switch to ON/OFF the irrigation motor.  

The major building blocks of this project are:

1. Adapter power supply.
2. Arduino UNO Micro controller.
3. Relay
4. GSM
5. LCD display.

     

Software’s used:

 

• Arduino IDE programmer for dumping code into Micro controller.
• Express SCH for Circuit design.

           

Regulated power supply:
