EVALUATION OF THE USE OF A MICROCONTROLLER OF PLATFORM ARDUINO IN ELECTRICAL SENSOR READING FOR CORRELATION WITH SOIL PROPERTIES

Abstract

This paper presents the values obtained with electrical resistance sensors, and collected through an Arduino microcontroller. These data were compared with the results obtained in the laboratory and had a correlation coefficient of 92%. The data obtained from the sensors, collected and stored by a microcontroller can assist in precision agriculture, due to greater accessibility to them. Additionally, the proposed system presents itself as a new way to automate the data collection of soil and to work with these data.
