| This project is a series of experiments with irrigration systems. The goal is to achieve the most optimal irrigation at the lowest cost. The system employs multiple Internet weather sources as well as custom sensors to determine whether the irrigation system should deliver water to a particular zone. Generally, the system is run on a schedule. When the time comes to run a zone, the system checks the Internet sources as well as the local sensors. Here is a recent data collected from this decision making process: | This project is a series of experiments with irrigration systems.

| + | What is a portable irrigation system? It is a five gallon fish tank, which contains all of the essential elements of an irrigation system. It has a sprinkler head, plumbing and a control valve. All of the components are exactly what one would find buried in the ground. The idea is to demonstrate the electronics and the experiments on this system, without requiring folks to come to a field. | ||
