Design of Automatic Seed Sowing Machine
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents the development of an automated seed-sowing machine aimed at improving the precision and efficiency of agricultural planting practices. The machine utilizes a microcontroller to control movement and seed dispensing, allowing for programmed, looped operations. Key components include high-torque DC motors, a seed dispenser, and an RTC module for precise timing. The system enables consistent seed spacing and reliable field coverage with minimal human oversight. Through extensive testing, adjustments were made to optimize seed-drop intervals and turning functions, ensuring adaptability across various soil types. This automated solution offers a low- cost, user-friendly approach to modern agriculture, meeting the growing demands. The project aims to contribute to adopting scalable automation in agriculture, promoting efficient resource use, and supporting small-scale farmers.
