    Duke Egr 355 Final Presentation

    This document describes a smart irrigation project created by Richard Liu, David Rosen, Negatu Asmamaw, and Claire Kaptinski from the classes of 2017 and 2015. The project uses sensors in gutters to detect runoff water and transmit this information to an Arduino board to control sprinklers. The goals are to keep plants healthy with proper watering while conserving water and reducing costs. The system was modified from the original design and uses PVC pipes, a breadboard, and float sensors to measure runoff and optimize sprinkler timing. Further improvements could make the system smaller and use different sensor types to model runoff data graphically.

    EGR 355

    Project Concep,on
    Original Idea: Smart Sprinklers
    Use Evapotranspira,on algorithms to
    model runo of a garden and control
    sprinklers
    Garden-hose sized tubes to nd runo
    water and transmit this informa,on to
    be processed by Arduino

    Final Deliverable: GuJer to detect


    runo water at key loca,ons

    Goals
    Short-term:
    Keeps plants healthy, roots in correct
    direc,on
    Cuts down on black ice

    Long-term:
    Conserves water, reduces water bill

    Original Design

    Modied Design

    Materials

    Arduino Uno Board


    PVC Pipe
    JAMECO Breadboard
    AMICO Float Gauge Sensor

    Future Poten,al
    Downsize! 9 to 16 ,mes smaller
    Switch to a water-level sensor for
    more versa,lity
    Work on methods of graphically
    modeling the runo data

    Thank you for listening!
