Story

INTRODUCTION

The cultivation of gourmet and medicinal mushrooms is becoming increasingly popular, both as a hobby and for profit. Mushrooms are very nutritious products that can be generated from lignocellulosic waste materials; and are in rich in crude fibre and protein. In fact, mushrooms also contain low fat, low calories and good vitamins. In addition, many mushrooms possess multi-functional medicinal properties.

Ventilation is essential for mushroom growing, and it is also necessary to control humidity and temperature.The growth temperature for mycelium ranges from 15 to 35oC and the optimum growth temperature ranges from 23oC to 27oC. The temperature for fruiting can be from 16oC to 30oC and the optimum developmental temperature of fruiting bodies is 18 to 25oC. The ideal humidity for casing soil is 60-65%. The preferred air humidity in a mushroom house is 60-75% for mycelium growth and 70-85% for fruiting body formation and development.

Mushrooms do not require light to grow, only green plants require light for photosynthesis. Growing rooms can be illuminated to facilitate harvesting or cropping practices.

SCHEMATIC

The CY8CKIT Psoc Analog Coprocessor Pionner Kit was used to carry out this project, which has temperature, humidity and illumination sensors to control the optimal conditions for fungus cultivation.

To control the greenhouse were used the pins of port three as shown in the following figure.

The LEDs simulate the control over the heater, the fan, the lighting and the Nebulizer. These are used to maintain the right conditions at each stage of the crop.

CODE

Psoc allows you, to program hardware and software. The following figure shows the programming of the necessary hardware to handle temperature, humidity and illumination sensors.

For each of the sensors a mathematical procedure is performed in which different variables intervene. The hardware blocks must be initialized and then the ADC conversion is done and the values for each sensor are adjusted.

Finally, the control of the greenhouse is carried out according to the needs of the crop.
