dSerra, system for the management of a hydroponic greenhouse at school
dSerra is a system that allows you to automate the display and storage of the values read by the sensors connected to a hydroponic greenhouse based on the small dBook class web server. In addition to measuring the main physical variables associated with the growth of a plant, the tool allows the management of plant lighting and the recording of videos in timelapse format. As for dBook, dSerra is also equipped with a web graphic interface to manage all the functions remotely and read (and save locally) the values of the measured variables.
dSerra allows real-time monitoring of the data detected and stored through a graph where for each survey performed you can see the data in detail and the photo taken.
Objectives
Conception and design of a technological solution that can find subsequent use in Research Facilities, in the context of laboratory teaching.
Research questions
- What is the level of usability of dSerra for students and teachers, in different age groups?
- Is dSerra a tool that facilitates the use of the hydroponic greenhouse at school, aimed at improving the process of understanding the growth pattern of a plant?
Recipients
The schools of the national territory that adhere to the experimentation.
