Abstract

The reason for Agricultural Drone is to build up a quad-copter which conveys pesticides to spray it along assigned
ways along the field which improves the farmlands efficiency, crop yield and lessens Labor and Health costs acquired.
The use of pesticides and composts in rural regions is of prime significance for harvest yields. Our aim is to build up an
easy to understand interface for the workers. The Agricultural Drone is a pesticide showering quad copter for
horticultural reasons which encourages the farmers to spray the pesticides all over his territory with the goal that it
diminishes his work and can equally spray all over his field. Here the farmer can control the drone utilizing Joystick
Controller which comprises of a RF module which is interfaced with the drone. Here we have utilized the Arduino
board which is the command and control unit of the drone which also communicates using the RF module which acts
as the transmitter and receiver circuit. To adjust the bearings, orientation and keep up stage strength we have utilized
a MPU 6050 an ATMEL Mega 644PA microcontroller .The info commands are handled by the Arduino
Microcontroller which is associated with the flight control board(MPU 6050) by a closed cascade feedback loop after
processing the provided command and the values provided by the gyroscope the movement of the drone takes place.
Another Microprocessor placed in the spraying mechanism controls the water level alarm and the spray on and off
control
