PRESENTATION MODULES
 A Brief Introduction about the Project.
 Aim and Objectives of the Project.
 Hardware Implementation of AAIS.
 Interfacing with Sensors and Calibration.
 Software Module.
 References.
A RECAP
 Project deals with irrigation of farmlands based on
soil wetness thus making it more fertile.
 Since completely automatic, constant monitoring is
not required.
 Solar energy is used to generate pollution-free
power thus making it completely eco-friendly.
 By effective utilization of Atmel based
microcontrollers and Solar panels, our objective can
be attained.
PROJECT EFFICACY ON A BROADER PROSPECTIVE

 65% of India’s Population depend on Farming for

their livelihood
 Since Solar Energy is used, Independency on
power supply & manual labour
 Better Yield and Thus reduced Food Inflation

SENSING DESIGN
 2 10K resistors come in the voltage divider
circuit. The other voltage dividing will happen in
the second arm.
 So, comparator will give either 0V or 2.5V. This
is taken as digital 0 or 1 respectively.
 Circuit is designed such that any resistor can be
used.
MICROCONTROLLER USED FOR AAIS:
 ATMEL’s famous AT89C2051
Salient Features of AT89C2051:
 2000 Bytes of Programmable Flash Memory
 2.7-6V Operating Range
 15 Programmable I/O Ports
 Programmer interface is PC serial compatible. Accepts
Hex Files.

PART1- AAIS ALGORITHM
STEP 1: START AAIS
STEP 2: CHECK VOLTAGE ACROSS SEN1,SEN2,SEN3,SEN4
STEP 3: IF 0V ACROSS ALL THE SENSORS JUMP TO STEP 6
STEP4: SEND VOLTAGE SIGNAL TO EITHER PORT 3.0,3.1,3.2 & 3.3
STEP 5: CLEAR THE LOAD WHICH PULLS P1.6 TO GO LOW, WHICH KEEPS PUMP
RUNNING,JUMP TO STEP7
{
STEP 1: 12V SOLAR PANEL INTERFACED TO BATTERY
STEP 2: LEAD ACID BATTERY POWERS THE PUMP
}
STEP 6: SETB TO LOAD,P1.6, ,THAT IS 18TH PIN. IT ENERGIZES THE 12V RELAY COIL
AND STOPS THE PUMP.
STEP 7: GOTO STEP 2
STEP 8: STOP AAIS
PART2- SOLAR DRIVEN PUMP
 Solar Panels continuously charge the 12V Lead
Acid Battery through a charger.
 Charger also helps in stopping reverse currents.
 Around 300mA of current from the solar panel
was found sufficient enough to charge the battery.
 Battery took around 6 hours to charge.
