Sensorweb Presentation

This document provides an overview of the Sensor Web project. The project aims to develop a low-cost network of sensor nodes to monitor soil moisture across agricultural fields and relay the data to a web application. The team plans to use small, inexpensive operational nodes to collect sensor readings and transmit them via radio signals to a home node. The home node will then upload the data to a web server using a 2G cellular connection. The web application will allow farmers to view soil moisture levels and determine when to irrigate fields. The document outlines the project plan, system design, and concludes with an assessment of the solution.

Project Plan:

Project Statement
Our project is to develop a cost effective network of nodes to relay sensor data
across fields. This data will be sent to a 2G enabled home node which will upload
the data to a web application for users to interface with.

Goal: Help farmer decide when to irrigate field.

Project Plan:

Background
Currently, the only solutions for analyzing field moisture are unaffordable, $5k-10k
annually. Our team’s solution will be considerably less expensive ($11 per module)
and dispensable.
