Diseño e implementación de un sistema de sensores WSN para agricultura de precisión utilizando DIGIMESH y modo API

Precision agriculture is a tool that helps optimize available resources and improve cropping processes by collecting relevant information and automating agriculture related management. The concept of precision agriculture has been slow to adopt because of the associated cost involved in its implementation. However, due to the current development in wireless communication technologies, the costs associated with the electronic devices that enable this type of communication have diminished enough to be viable in medium and small size crops. Technologies like Wi-Fi or zigbee have different characteristics and it is necessary to determine the advantages each one offers. In the development and implementation of this project, it has been considered that the advantages offered by Xbee equipment due to their mobility, low energy consumption and minimum cost are perfect for the deployment of the WSN network. The project involves the construction of a prototype with two nodes connected to sensors of temperature, relative humidity, luminosity, pressure and UV radiation, a node that acts as a router and a coordinating node that will receive information from the sensors and it will send the information to a computer so it can be seen and then it can be saved in a database. An important aspect is that the nodes work as a mesh network to provide the system fault tolerance
