“…It only weighs 25 g, making it very light and portable. Arduino Uno is already used in various situations to build LCMS for the measurement of weather, radiation, solar power, air quality, water turbidity, and irrigation [16,[25][26][27][28][29][30]. This hardware is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller and has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, 16-MHz ceramic resonator, USB connection, power jack, and a reset button.…”

To realize precision agriculture at multiple locations in the field, a low-cost measurement system should be developed for easy collection of hydrometeorological data, such as temperature, moisture, and light. In this study, a compact and low-cost hydrometeorological measurement system with a simplified wire code, which is customizable according to the purpose of observation, was built using a circuit board that connects Arduino to the sensors, which was then implemented and analyzed. The developed system measures air and soil temperatures, soil water content, and photosynthetic photon flux density using a sensor connected to Arduino Uno and saves the continuous, high-temporal-resolution output to an SD card. The results obtained from continuous measurement showed that the data collected using this system was significantly better than those collected using commercially available equipment. Anyone can easily measure the weather environments by using this fully open, highly versatile, portable, and user-friendly system. This system can contribute to the growth and expansion of precision agriculture, field management, development of crop models, and laborsaving. It can also provide a global solution to ongoing agricultural issues and improve the efficiency of farming operations, particularly in developing and low-income countries.

Radiations are especially harmful to children and infants as their body cells divide rapidly, thus providing radiations more chances to interfere with the organs, leading to a number of diseases, especially those related to the skin. Therefore, the demand for a system that can detect harmful radiations timely and effectively becomes high. Many new and modern techniques comprising radiation protection and alerting systems are being introduced along with improvements and enhancements. This study demonstrates the practical implementation of an IoT-enabled intelligent system based on machine learning for radiation monitoring and warning by classifying radiations and their corresponding effects on infants. The proposed system alerts humans about the danger zones with audio/visual announcements or a buzz so that they can move to a safer place. Along with this automatic sensor system, a real-time dataset is also collected, in which sensor values are recorded along with their effects on infants for experiments. Additionally, the outcomes of the effect of radiations corresponding to the recorded sensor values are classified by using support vector machines, Gaussian naïve Bayes, decision trees, extra trees, bagging classifiers, random forests, logistic regression, and adaptive boosting classifiers. The experiment reveals that the adaptive boosting classifier gives the best accuracy of 81.77% compared to other classifiers.

“…Several studies have developed systems that use microcontroller timers/counters for nuclear instrumentation such as survey meters and radiation monitoring devices using GM (Geiger Muller) detectors [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and scintillation detectors [13,14]. Jumari has developed a Timer/Counter system for gamma spectroscopy using the 89c51 microcontroller [15].…”

Soil contamination may occur in the upcoming decommissioning activities of the TRIGA2000 Reactor. Measurement of contaminant radioactivity, which can be performed using single-channel spectroscopy, is required in soil decontamination processes. This research develops a timer/counter system for single-channel spectroscopy using a microcontroller. The performance of the ATMega328P microcontroller Timer/Counter on Arduino has been tested for single-channel spectroscopy. Microcontroller's Timer/Counter 1 is used as a counter while Timer/Counter 2 is used as a timer. Tests include the linearity test, comparative test, and chi-square test. The test results show that the ATMega328P microcontroller Timer/Counter works well and can be used as the end of a single-channel spectroscopic system.
