SmartDrip

Automated irrigation system drip and monitoring from node js with Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi
    • WiFi USB adapter
  • Arduino
    • Soil moisture sensor
    • Solenoid
    • Electric water pump
    • Temperature sensor

Software dependencies

  • Nodejs
    • Serial-port

Getting started

The first thing we need to do is flash an Arduino board with the Firmata protocol. For this "project" we use a Standard Firmata.

In src/sketch.ino is the file ready for upload to the board. To archive this yo can use the ino command line tool.

Install the Arduino IDE

Yo can installed with yum or apt-get.

$ sudo apt-get install arduino

Install picocom

The picocom command line tool will helps us with serial communication.

$ sudo apt-get install picocom

Once you installed all the dependencies above, install ino using pip or easy_install

$ pip install ino

Setting up your board

Edit the file ino.ini with the specs of your board and the serial port.

[build]
board-model = mega2560

[upload]
board-model = mega2560
serial-port = /dev/ttyACM0

[serial]
serial-port = /dev/ttyACM0

Installing the Firmata protocol

Build the file in src/sketch.ino

$ ino build

Upload

$ ino upload

Installing the node modules and run app

Connect the arduino then run:

$ node app.js
