Abstract

The use of sensoring equipment in agricultural machinery is an increasingly common practice and has many benefits for farmers and/or researchers. One of the difficulties encountered in this practice is the high cost of equipment acquisition, thus, their use in agricultural machines becomes very restricted. In order to propose a more financially viable option, this paper aims to develop a prototype capable of reading information from various equipment and storing it reliably. To achieve its purpose, the Arduino platform is used as a Data Acquisition System that receives temperature, velocity, flow and geographic coordinate information and stores it. For Arduino to be able to correctly interpret the data, it is necessary to use modules for communication between the sensoring components and the platform. As result, the Arduino platform has been able to reliably store information, making it a viable and a low cost alternative to replace equipment already in the market for such a function.
