The project subject : Serres connectées.

The project consist of upgrading a classic greenhouse to retrieve live information about its climate. The farm exploitation is located in Saint-Cassien (38500), in the French Alps.

Data to retrieve :

  • Air temperature
  • Air moisture
  • Soil moisture

Control of these parameters are essentials to avoid disease, enhance the growth of the plantations and limit water consumption.

Two main constrains :

  • No power in the zone
  • Sensors needs to be moveable to let vehicles move along the greenhouse



Team

  • Supervisor: Nicolas Palix and Vincent Hibon

Calendar

The project started on January 9th, 2017.

Week 1 (January 9th - January 12th)

Week 2 (January 13th - January 19th)

  • Introduction to LoRa by Didier Donsez.
  • Discovery of the project
  • Setup of our computers to be able to program our Adafruit Feather.
  • First Hello world with the hardware (Discussion between two Adafruit Feather 32u4 in LoRa)
  • Call with one of the managers of the farm, Vincent, the feeling is good with him, we spoke during one hour :
    • He spoke about him and his wife farm exploitation
    • He detailed the farm layout
    • We asked him some precise questions about the project (Types and numbers of sensors wanted, data wanted, ...)
    • We agree on a meeting for the next Wednesday (25/01/2017)

Week 3 (January 20th - January 26th)

  • Define the use case diagram
  • Taking charge of the Adafruit Feather card and the PyCom one.
  • We wrote a little program that is able to send and receive data. At the moment these data are fake temperature until we embedded real sensors
  • We determinate the length maximum of data that we can sent to be able to record data each 30 minutes and respect the duty cycle (1% of the time)
  • The meeting was canceled by the managers of the farm and reported to the 8th of February

Week 4 (January 27th - February 5th)

  • No official time slot for the projec this week (Postpouned)
  • Call with Vincent Hibon on the 1st of Feb. We spoke about the advancement of the project.

Week 5 (February 6th - February 12th)

  • We got some new hardware : Mbed SX1272 with a ST Nucleo board, therefore we have to re-setup our computers to makes these cards working. Adafruit cards will be given to the project n°2.
  • On wednesday afternoon, first meeting at the farm with Vincent. We also meet Isabelle, Vincent's wife, the manager of the farm. Here is a report of this afternoon (in French).
  • There are some pictures picked today (yes, the forecast wasn't very good...) :

Week 6 (February 13th - February 19th)

  • Monday:
    • We are very disheartened with these new STM32 cards. Three other hours lost in making research about how to make it works.
  • Tuesday:
    • Nice day ! Finally STM32 worked today, we were able to run the "PingPong" example program (link) and exchange some data
    • We are able to transform voltage from the temperature sensor[1] to degree celsius.
    • NB: We use picocom /dev/tty.usbmodem1423 on macOS 10.12 and Putty (/dev/ttyACM0) on Ubuntu to have a console output.

Week 7 (February 20th - February 26th)

Week 8 (February 27th - March 5th)

  • Going to the FabLab in order to carve the model. The base is made of MDF (Medium-density fiberboard) and the structure is made of Plexiglas.

  • Set-up Node-red, we are able to retrieve data printed by the device (connected on /dev/ttyACM0)
    • The Extract data function :
1setTimeout(function() { node.status({}); }, 500)
2node.status({fill:"green",shape:"dot",text:"updated"});
3return msg;
Node-red dashboard

Week 9 (March 6th - March 12th)

  • Node-red, Mosquitto, InfluxDB and Grafana
