Rancang Bangun Alat Penyiraman Tanaman Otomatis Menggunakan Sistem Timer Elektronik Berbasis Atmega 328P

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most important fields to fulfill human's basic integrity. Soil as the main factor in agriculture must be as good as possible in order to provide the expected results. One of them is by utilizing automation technology. One of the big problems in agriculture is the lack of air and unscheduled irrigation systems. Lack of water will cause undisturbed plant growth and even cause death. Too much water causes plants not to grow due to rotting of the plant roots. Playing with enough waterwill really help plants grow well. The prototype of a scheduled automatic plant watering system will greatly assist in replacing the task of humans (farmers) to do watering automatically according to waterneeds and the schedule has been determined. By utilizing the Real Time Clock, it willbe very useful in determining the time when the tool will perform the watering task according to the desired settings. Test have been carried out on circuit such as testing on ATMega 328p, Water pumps, Relays, Push Button, and LCD
