Freyr drone: Pesticide/fertilizers spraying drone - an agricultural approach

Abstract

The purpose of FREYR drone is to develop a quad-copter which carries pesticides to spray all over the farm which reduces the work of farmers as well as it finishes his work soon. The application of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural areas is of prime importance for crop yields. This is to develop a user friendly interface for the farmers. The FREYR Drone is a pesticide spraying quad copter for agricultural purpose which helps the farmer to spray the pesticides all over his land so that it reduces his work which can evenly spray all over his farm. Here the farmer can control the drone using an android app and he can connect to the app using Wi-Fi module (ESP 8266) which is interfaced in the drone. It will precisely route the land area of that particular farmer's land using GPS no matter shape of the field and type of the crop the pesticide spraying drone will get the job done. Here we have used the Arduino board which is the open source electronics prototype platform which is interfaced with the Wi-Fi module and GPS. To balance the directions and orientations we have used the ACCELEROMETER (ADXL 335), GYRO (MPU-6050), MAGNETOMETER (HMC5883L). We have a wireless camera that can transmit and receive pictures with high resolution.
