Automated Aeroponics System

Abstract

This thesis is focused on aeroponic system problems and automation. One of the main features of the system is automatic regulation of pH and EC of the nutrient solution which will be achieved by dispensing fertilizers and acids/alcalis with peristaltic pumps. Growing area of the systém will feature automatic regulation of temperature and humidity. Regulation of temperature will be provided by heating element which is controlled by embedded system. Regulation of humidity will be provided by ultrasonic fogger. The aim of this thesis is to build a functioning model of aeroponic system which will be able to sustain ideal growing conditions with minimal human interference.
