Abstract

The project focuses on designing and building an automated greenhouse to optimize the cultivation of tropical plants in the coastal region of Cartagena, Colombia. Two independent microcontroller-based systems will be developed to manage key environmental conditions. The irrigation system, powered by an Arduino Uno, will incorporate an OLED display, a soil moisture sensor, a water pump, and other components to efficiently regulate water supply based on crop needs. Meanwhile, the thermal control system will use a Micro Arduino Pro, an LCD display, a temperature sensor, a fan, and additional elements to maintain an appropriate temperature range. Both systems will provide real-time monitoring through their respective displays, enabling constant oversight and precise adjustments to create an ideal environment that promotes healthy crop growth while fostering sustainability and efficiency in agricultural resource use.
