Code Project Title
Synopsis for
Greenhouse Monitoring
and Controlling
1. Introduction
This project is used to measure the various parameters like Temperature and Light and display
them on a LCD. Temperature and light is sensed by respective sensors and sensor output is amplified
and given to ADC. Microcontroller controls these parameters and keeps them at some predefined levels
using relay interface. These relays can be connected to Fan/Heater. At the same time these values of
temperature and light to a computer through serial port.

2. Block Diagram
1. Sensors: we are going to use temperature sensor and light sensor to sense temperature and light
respectively. These sensors sense the parameters and gives corresponding voltage output
2. Amplifier: As the voltage output from the sensors is in miliVolts, it has to be increased to 0 to 5 volts
range. We are going to use linear amplifier for this purpose.
3. ADC: The main part of our project is microcontroller which reads only digital input. (0V & 5V) But the
output of Amplifier is in analog form, so it has to be converted into digital format, for this purpose we
are going to use ADC to convert analog output from amplifier into the digital output to be given to
microcontroller
4. Microcontroller: This is the CPU (central processing unit) of our project. We are going to use
microcontroller of 8051 family. The various functions of microcontroller are like

I. Reading the digital input from ADC which is derived from Temperature and Light sensor. II. Sending
this data to LCD so that the person operating this project should read the values of temperature and
light. III. Controlling the parameters like Temperature, light, turning On/Off the respective relays IV.
Sending the values of temperature and light to the computer using serial port
5. Relay: We have used 2 relays in our project. First one will be turned on when the temperature falls
below the desired value. And the second relay will be turned on when temperature reaches above the
desired value. (e.g. if the desired value is 20 degree C, then Relay 1 will be turned on when temperature
is 19 or below and Relay 2 will be turned on when temperature is 21 or above)
Future Development:
1. We can monitor more parameters like Humidity, PH of soil, pressure, water level and at the
same time control them
2. We can send this data to a remote location using mobile or internet
3. We can draw graphs of variations in these parameters using computer
