    Capacitance method based handheld device to measure the moisture content of static grain
    (2011) Maxworth, AS; Porambage, PL; Mallawa, MTBP; Dias, KNG; Jayasinghe, JAKS
    Quality of the grain depends on the interna! moisture content. Capacitance method was used to determine the moisture content of static grain with accuracy of ±0.9%. This paper represents the characteristics and operation of a handheld device which was made to give real-time moisture content readings based on the capacitance of the grain with the above accuracy for paddy.

    Introduction to agriculture electronics to engineering undergraduates
    (2014-06-24) Maxworth, AS; Jayasinghe, JAKS
    For the development in the agricultural sector in Sri Lanka, it is a well accepted fact that technology should be introduced to the field of agriculture. Here Electronic Engineers can play a major role. As the first step of this process the multi-disciplinary module Agricultural Electronics was formed and introduced to the undergraduates of the specialized field Electronic and Telecommunication. The necessity, content and the outcomes of the module were demonstrated in this paper as a new trend in Engineering Education; therefore any nation would be able to adopt this multi-disciplinary approach for the benefit of their country
