Garden Monitoring with Embedded Systems

Abstract: In today’s modern society the process of handling crops in an accountable way withoutloss have become more and more important. By letting a gardener evaluate the progressof his plants from relevant data one can reduce these losses and increase effectiveness ofthe whole plantation. This work is about the construction of such a system composedfrom a developers perspective of three different platforms, from the start of data samplingwithin the context of gardening to and end user easily able to understand the data thentranslated. The first platform will be created from scratch with both hardware andsoftware, the next assembled from already finished hardware components and build withsimpler software. The last will essentially only be a software solution in an alreadyfinished hardware environment.
