The Code-and-Fix Mode For The Crop Monitoring System Of an Agriculture System

In The Code-and-Fix Modal we know the requirements of crop monitoring system of an agriculture system, now the project consist of the sensor, data acquisition system and computer which is LabVIEW based GUI. In this modal we 1st interface all the 5 sensors temperature sensor, HDC1080, tensiometers, TSL2561, and Anemometer which measure temperature, humidity, soil moisture, luminosity, and wind speed respectively to the computer and then check some safety that all the sensors are correctly interfaced or any short circuit. Then we run the computer and start the project. In this approach there are chances of less accuracy but no damage. Because in this approach we work in stages like interface the sensor to the data acquisition system and then to computer but they are randomly done not any planning. There are chances of inaccuracy but not failure.

The Waterfall Model For The Crop Monitoring System Of an Agriculture System

In this modal we divide the project into the project into hierarchical division of certain stages. 1st we analyze the requirements of Crop Monitoring System Of an Agriculture system and what types of sensors we need. Here we need 5 sensors temperature sensor, HDC1080, tensiometers, TSL2561, and Anemometer which measure, temperature, humidity, soil moisture, luminosity, and wind speed respectively. And now 2nd stage we design the project by interfacing all the sensors to the data acquisition system, 3rd stage we make a suitable LabVIEW Based GUI which is used for user interface and the connect the all data acquisition system to the computer and then we review the all 3 stages again whether they are all fine to avoid the damage of sensors. After all these stage we now come to the maintenance of the crop monitoring system, the life of sensors, accuracy of sensors and monitoring of GUI. in this modal there is good chances of making good project.

The Spiral Model For Crop Monitoring System Of An Agriculture System

In the spiral modal we go through the 4 phases of designing a project. 1st is to create the architecture of the project. The architecture of the crop monitoring system is really simple 5 sensors temperature sensor, HDC1080, tensiometers, TSL2561, and Anemometer which measure temperature, humidity, soil moisture, luminosity, and wind speed respectively and a data acquisition hardware and computer. The 2nd phase is to implement the architecture, connect all these sensors to the data acquisition hardware and interface it to the computer and check whether they are all correctly connected. 3rd phase is to test the all the project sensors, data acquisition system whether they are working or not. Testing the sensitivity of the sensors and the monitoring through the GUI, this modal is highly customized to design a project.

Suitable Model To Design Any Embedded System

The better and suitable modal to design any embedded system is the spiral modal where we work for any project in phases. A planning of architecture and its designing is done before the start of project design. We insure that each phase is properly done and works. Spiral approach is used to make highly customized project.

Conclusion

In any project we try design a highly accurate and easy to handle project. In this report we deals crop monitoring system of an agriculture system with different approaches or different models. Each modal or approach is used to design but the most approach is used is that the Water fall model and the Spiral Modal which insure you design a better project than to all other approaches/models.
