Zigbee irrigation system

  This is a simple approach to see how to implement zigbee based water irrigation control for irrigation system. This is not a difficult thing to get control over motor and electromagnetic valves using zigbee and MCU. I am not going to provide detailed steps how its implemented as code provided is with lot of comments. The idea is we can control the electromagnetic valves and motor depending on the moister content in the farm area and the water level in the water source (water well). Its somewhat advanced technique which requires PC/laptop for manual control. This system is having both manual and automatic control. For manual control you can control valves and motor from remote place, and for automatic control the simple moister sensor like this can be used. That moister sensor will give digital logic output based on whether soil is wet or dry. If its dry and the water level is good then motor and respective valve will get turned on. Now to setup communication between two zigbee module
