Abstract

This paper represents a Mechatronics system used for advancedwater irrigation. This system is integratedwith three basic elements namely,sensing unit, controlling unit and actuating unit. Sensing unit consists of YL-69 water sensorsalong with YL-38 bridge circuits.Controlling unit consists of 8 bit microcontroller and SIM-900 GSM module. Actuation unit consists of DC motor operated valves assistedwith driver circuits. Thisautomatedwater irrigation system can be operated remotely usinga mobile phone. The information about the required field to be irrigated can be sent through a registered mobile number,in the form of SMS. GSM module receives a message and there after sends set of instructions to microcontroller through MAX-232 communication device. Microcontroller is so programmed that,on receiving the instructions from GSM module, it decides which valve to be operated usingcorresponding DC motor.
