Agro seed flow controller is an electronic machine to plant seed. This machine helps to control flow of seed while planting. The distance between two seeds can be varied and controlled. The micro controller will adjust the seed rate based on the tractor ground speed. The rate will be adjusted to match to preset plant population allowing a great efficiency when planting.

The micro controller will adjust the seed rate based on the tractor ground speed. The rate will be adjusted to match to preset plant population allowing a great efficiency when planting.
The seeds will be dispensed by a spoke wheel and dropped into the ground. A stepper motor will control the speed of the spoked wheel. A hopper above the tube swill supply the seed to be dispensed using gravity flow. By using sensor on wheel of tractor, can be measure the speed of tractor.
The micro controller will measure the speed of tractor and correspondingly rotate the motor. When motor moves, the spoke wheel also moves and seeds are forced to dispense in to the ground. An alarm buzzer will sound when the seed flow goes to zero while the tractor is still moving.
The PINNACLE 52 software is used to write the program is assembly language and this program is burned in AT89S51 controller. The µC Flash Programmer is used for burning process.
