- Abstract
The advantages that modular electronic devices offer nowadays are almost unlimited and, to a great extent, this diversity is based on the existence and usability of different types of sensors to some low costs. In our work, the combination of Arduino, different light digital sensors, a Bluetooth module and a mobile device, can provide valuable assistance to small entrepreneurs in vegetable and horticulture industry. The results indicate that this system of monitoring natural ambient light in a greenhouse with a sensitivity similar to other electronic devices, however without purely scientific accuracy instruments, but enough for someone without much experience. This shows that robust research prototypes today can obtain promising results with a very low cost, offering an alternative to limited budgets.
