Abstract
This paper presents Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based data logger system for collecting data accurately from agricultural field. Agriculture is the backbone of India. Though many technological advances have been made in various fields, not much of it is implemented in the field of agriculture. One of the fundamental aspects that we can improve in agricultural field is by getting more data from soil, atmosphere, plants, etc accurately. By collecting more data we can apply machine learning and prediction algorithms to figure out the amount of fertilizer, water and other manures required for crops to get better yield. But in developing countries like India, cost of the technology is quite not affordable for implementing in large scale. Hence an effective and low cost real time monitoring system is needed, to monitor and collect data accurately. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based data logger system with ESP-NOW protocol developed by us aims at doing just that and the project is discussed here.
