Designing an automatic irrigation system

kevjon
16 years ago

Hi everybody,

I want to do an automatic irrigation system,with humidity sensors, micro controllers...etc. I would like to know what type of irrigation is most suited for an automatic scheme(It should be an irrigation system that can irrigate almost every type of crop). I was thinking to use sprinklers controlled by solenoid valves.

And if anyone ever did some sort of project, some suggestions would be well welcomed!!

Thank you.
