Design of Mobile Application-Controlled Photovoltaic Seed Sowing and Drilling Machine
摘要
With the ascending number of population, there is an increase in demand for crop production. Conventional ways of plowing, digging, and sowing the seeds are still being used by the majority of the farmers in the developing or underdeveloped countries. The equipment for these purposes is being driven by tractors that run on nonrenewable means of energy. A solar-powered bot is designed and fabricated to carry out soil digging and seed sowing. An application designed to work on any android device is used to connect to the Bluetooth module fixed onto the system. Two motors drive this bot, which has a total approximate weight of 30 kg. With the use of a 40 Watt panel and a 55 Ah battery, the whole system can run for nearly 2 h.
