ArduFarmBot: Tomato garden automation with help of “Internet of Things” - IoT

Abstract

The book is divided into 3 parts.In the first part, the Arduino Nano is the starting point for development of a local version of "ArduFarmBot", that can be controlled both, manually and automatically. In the second part, the book dives into automation design, introducing remote operation through the creation of a webpage. The "ESP8266-01" is used for Wi-Fi connection, sending data to an important web service in the field of IoT, the "ThingSpeak.com". In the third part, a second version of "ArduFarmBot" is developed, introducing the "NodeMCU ESP8266-12E", a powerful and versatile IoT device, which replaces both the "Arduino Nano" and the "ESP8266-01", used in the earlier parts of the book. In this last part of the book, a new and powerful service platform of the IoT universe, the "Blynk", is also explored.
