Smart weather station: use of Arduino Uno and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize irrigation in family farming in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte
This project proposes the creation of a weather station using an Arduino Uno and various sensors. The initiative arises in response to the water shortages that are compromising family farming in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte. The system was designed to collect data on soil moisture, light, and rainfall. The methodology included theoretical research, prototype assembly, and interviews with local farmers to validate the project's practical application. Tests conducted with the Arduino Uno revealed that the system and sensor functioned well. In addition to the positive impact on agriculture, the project sparked a greater interest in science, technology, and sustainability among our students, contributing to the development of a more solid environmental awareness. KEYWORDS: Weather station; Arduino; Water shortage.
