Diseño e implementación de un sistema automatizado de monitoreo de variables, control de riego e iluminación RGB, aplicado a huertos urbanos verticales para la producción del rábano.

Abstract

The present project is focused on the automation and control of the processes that originate within an experimental vertical urban garden, through the design and implementation of systems based on microcontrollers, located in the Technical Faculty for the Development of the Catholic University of Santiago de Chile. Guayaquil. The system presents useful electronic instruments to monitor and control the development and conservation of plants in order to meet their needs in terms of temperature, lighting and irrigation. It will be implemented in a vertical structure made of wood, based on models of indoor systems; It is made up of three sections, which are: cellar and two crops that contain radish plants. A software was designed that allows to inform, monitor and control, manually and automatically, the processes that take place in the garden. Finally, the results obtained were satisfactory compared to the traditional model, in terms of the use of space, facilities for the user in the development and conservation of the crop; In addition, the use of microcontrollers facilitates the management of automatic processes, adjusting to the demands and requirements of agricultural processes, being more specific processes that take place within the vertical urban garden.
