Radio Frequency based solar controller is designed for seed sowing machine. Recently, farmers facing many economical issues, so they move in search of some other jobs. This reduces skilled labours in agriculture field. But agriculture is the back bone of our country, so we need to introduce some efficient methods to improve farming. In this Seed sowing machine, based on the instruction given the machine will operate in three modes like slow, medium and speed. Arduino is used to control the machine. Sowing, Spreading and Ploughing mechanisms can be done by using this machine. Using solar panels can improve the efficiency. The controller is designed to make the machine to drive in slant surface of 45 degree and also sense obstacles situated front and back of the machine. The distance between the two seeds will be adjusted using the motor in the machine. This type of machine will be more useful in agriculture field. Further improvements like watering based on the soil moisture will be made in future.
