Abstract

This paper describes the AgroSense software, a Precision Agriculture application. It allows soil moisture and temperature values to be stored in a database. To do this, the software communicates with a network of measurement hardware located in different growing areas, and stores the information in a database. Communication is carried out through the TCP/IP protocol, under the conception of the Internet of Things. For its implementation, Qt and SQLite database are used. The hardware is designed using the Arduino platform. The Qt development environment incorporates the necessary tools for TCP/IP communication and connection to the database without the need to install other tools. The implemented software is tested by connecting to the measuring devices implemented with Arduino. As result a server software is achieved that manages to establish a connection with two Arduino devices that act as clients. The results, verified at the laboratory level, show that there is no system collapse, the data is stored correctly in the database, and that the graphical interface is user-friendly and intuitive. Its implementation makes it possible to characterize soils, which allows decisions to be made related to irrigation and seed planting.
