To promote the advancement of novel observation techniques that may lead to new sources information help better understand hydrological cycle, International Association Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) established Measurements and Observations in XXI century (MOXXI) Working Group July 2013. The group comprises a growing community tech-enthusiastic hydrologists design develop their own sensing systems, adopt multi-disciplinary perspective tackling complex observations, often use low-cost...
<h2>Abstract</h2> Reliable, accurate, and affordable linear motion control systems for precision agriculture applications are currently not easily accessible due to their elevated cost. Most available the public have price tags in thousands of dollars dimensions cannot be customized. Current a maximum length about ten meters, typical greenhouse application that may sufficient. The system increases with an increase length, base it becomes impractical buy such application. Our HyperRail is...
Our objective was to develop and validate a freely downloadable, open-source, 3D printed rain gauge calibrator that can be adjusted for wide range of gauges. The applies constant low, medium, high-intensity water delivery rate, allows the user modify design conform their system based on parametric design. may modified using available computer-aided (CAD) software. Currently devices calibration tend designed specific gauges, are expensive, employ low-precision reservoirs, not field portable,...
Reliable, accurate, and affordable linear motion systems for agricultural applications are currently not easily accessible due to their elevated cost. Most available the public have price tags in thousands dimensions cannot be customized. Current a max length of about ten meters typical greenhouse application, may sufficient. The system increases with an increase base it becomes almost impractical buy such application. HyperRail is modular repeatability 2mm current top speed 100mm/s. An...
Increased demand for precision agriculture is reflected by a global rise in greenhouse food production. To maximize crop efficiency and yield, commercial greenhouses require live monitoring of growth conditions. Recent advances open-source hardware allow environmental sensing with the potential to rival lab-grade equipment at fraction cost. This study introduces high-resolution sensor package that costs less than $400. Consisting microcontrollers small hardware, can be deployed on HyperRail,...
