Gravity fed drip irrigation, with hands free, full automation.
Welcome, you've arrived at the Global Goals clubs challenge WIKI. This is your playground, here you are welcome to document your experiments, with the end goal of competing in the Zero Hunger challenge to be judged on 1 Jan 2020.
What follows is the beginnings of an outline! Here I've begun with open questions and intend to fill in from here. This could be the starting point for a school project or just a way to try something new. Please look through has already been done and try to improve on something. This project is open to all, anyone with ideas can feel free to edit the text below as long as you intend to improve the process.
Here begins the work section!
At the plant
- Stake
- 3d printed with
- possible IoT module
- cables and electricity planned in
- holder for squeeze mechanism
- Drip counter 2 wires which short when a drop hits
- Soil moisture At what depth does the reading provide the most accurate info
- 3d printed with
- Drip creation
- Squeeze with motor
- Muscle like fiber
- What else?
- What works best?
- What's the cheapest?
- Sensors
- Drip counter
- Soil moisture
- IoT or cable Interface to computer?
- Feedback to computer
- Instructions from Computer
Computer
- Control everything
- Drip rate dependent upon feedback from sensors
- Open windows/doors dependent on air temp/moisture
- Possibly shade
- Database or other means of tracking
Networking + interfacing + programming
Recycling
- Can we turn old plastic into usable parts?
- 3d printing Make ribbons
- Molding Tanks, tubing, etc
- As is reuses
Sensors
- Air temp
- Rain sensor
- Weather
- Humidity
- Day/night
