ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Green House Environment Controller:
Designed and developed an embedded system to control temperature, humidity, mois
ture, etc. to maintain invariable environmental conditions for plant growth in g
reen houses.
*Controlled various greenhouse environment parameters using Atmel's AT89C51 a lo
w-power,high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer.
*Designed sensor and actuator system using various electrical components,includi
ng IC's,voltage regulators, diodes,LED's,etc.Fabricated components on a PCB and
constructed green-house system prototype.
