A system for controlling the parameters of the environment in a greenhouse based on an Atmega328 microcontroller is considered. The developed robotic kit simplifies the collection of information from sensors placed in greenhouses for year-round use. An algorithm for the functioning of the complex is developed, its implementation based on the C programming language is presented. The main attention is paid to the stages of connecting motors to one motor driver, which is necessary to simplify the design. The principles of operation of the system components are briefly stated and recommendations are given on its use for automating the control of microclimate parameters in a greenhouse. This complex is more economical in terms of power consumption and cheaper in comparison with stationary sensors placed in year-round greenhouses. Collecting information about the environment inside the greenhouse is possible using a bluetooth module installed on the robotic complex.
