WATER LEVEL SYSTEMS WITH IOT.
Whenever water comes to play in animal or human life,its sources, composition and availability is questioned and given first priority,since water is life for sure,70% of the earth surface covered with water does not mean that life cannot be affect with its absence,it can be with greater extent.therefore, there has been need for conservation, utilization and predictability of this resource that is becoming more scarce with the climatic change. we as dekutiot, a data science group have taken that initiative to use the modern micro controllers with powerful sensor systems, with the help of internet to help use data science infrastructures to collect the pond water level fluctuations in the university wildlife conservancy to be able to collect,analyze,predict the future of the water levels of the ponds for precautionary measures and also train the system using machine learning techniques to be able to control action on the same pond be it outlets and intakes to the very water mass to save the lives of the wild life & aquatic life in the ecosystem.
we have used Arm mbed nucleo board f411re stm32,arduino, raspberrypi micro controllers,ultrasonic sensors to make the outcome real.collected data saved it in sd card, for analysis using anaconda facility.
We had challenges of power consumption and powering of the device we usually power our beginner prototype circuits using mb102 power supply board, but it needs an external elimeter to draw power and then regulate it.charging power banks are designed to cut off power when they think the charge is done, when load drops below certain cut-off level. This condition will happen every time you connect-disconnect your project while debugging it.since the board draws little current, if you load it with proper resistor can be on throughout, but it will drain the bank battery quickly ,we were thinking of reverse engineering our power bank, determine what kind of PMIC (power management IC) is used, and disable this cut-off function if possible, but it was very cumbersome so we tried to add a wifi chip as an additional load to the device for transmission and keeping the device powered.
