Rahane S.B. . AN ULTRA LOW POWERED MSP430 MICROCONTROLLER BASED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A COMPOSTING PROCESS. International Journal of Computer Applications. 1, 15 ( February 2010), 58-60. DOI=10.5120/321-489
This work presents the design of an intelligent controller for a composting process. It is designed around Texas Instruments ultra low powered MSP430F1232 microcontroller chip, Cypress semiconductors CYWM6935 wireless module for establishing a RF link between the two MSP430 microcontrollers. Composting provides environmentally and economically sustainable solution for promoting organic farming. Our work is a small step in developing a low cost and efficient control system for a compost manufacturing process which can be applied by farmers to produce nutrient rich , high quality organic fertilizer.
