Desarrollo de un dispositivo agrícola basado en microprocesadoresESP32

Abstract

At present, the development of agricultural devices plays a crucial role in the transformation and improvement of the agricultural industry. These devices are used to optimize production, reduce costs, and mitigate environmental impacts. The automation and mechanization of agricultural tasks using these low-cost devices facilitate the efficient management of crops, improving accuracy and efficiency. The advantage of the ESP32 is its versatility, since it implements many functionalities and with a few small component improvements, more can be incorporated, such as reading with higher resolution or communication protocols. With this, data collection tasks can be carried out from sensors, arranged in the field to monitor in real time crucial variables such as soil moisture, temperature and nutrient level, providing accurate data for decision-making. At the same time, control tasks such as the control of injection pumps could also be carried out. To give greater functionality to the equipment, it is necessary that it adapts to any situation in the field, so this device is capable of working in environments where there is mains power and, if necessary, due to the location, it can work autonomously by means of a solar panel. Emerging agricultural devices play a key role in driving towards smarter, more sustainable and resilient agriculture, contributing to food security and economic development.
