3. What is a system?
A system is a set of interacting or interdependent
components forming an integrated whole or a set of elements
(often called 'components' ) and relationships which are
different from relationships of the set or its elements to other
elements or sets.
Each element in the system is called “component”.Every
system is having following components
1) Input
2) Processor
3) Transmitter
4) Output
7. An open source platform, easy to use software and
hardware
54 digital input and output pins
14 analog input pins
16 MHz crystal oscillator
Serial communication is possible because of Tx , Rx pins
Flash memory of 256 KB
SRAM of 8 KB
EEPROM of 4 KB
Recommended voltage 7V-12V
39. Observations & Conclusions
Robust covering should be provided.
Graphical data transmission such as MMS is not possible
with Arduino, Arduino compatible cameras are not adequately
available in the market.
Areas at which signal strength is less, power consumption by
the system is more to send data as SMS. To overcome this
problem one should go for the networks which are having high
signal strength.
Ultrasonic sensor should not be installed near the bank, as
water near the bank may not be stable at all the times.
40. Limitations
Range of ultrasonic sensor is 3 m only.
Ultrasonic sensor can not be used, if it is to be
implemented in the stilling well because of the reason that
sentry angle is 15 degrees only.
If flow is not smooth, measurement may not be accurate.
41. Future work
To install the device in the field, it is better to use solar
energy.
To reduce the power consumption,use logical devices to
activate the system only at required times and system should
be idle for remaining.
Automation of the gates if device installed at the reservoirs,
automation of the motors if the device installed in the farming
fields.
Incorporate the exhaust fan in the device as heat sink, to
protect the device from heat.
To send images use Raspberry pi.
