CMOS-Based Monochrome Encoding and Mealy State Machine Modeling of a Storage Monitoring System for Growing Mycelium

Logic gates are the basic building blocks of digital electronics and are used to develop digital circuits. Using logic operations such as AND, NOT, and OR, a logic circuit following a maintenance and monitoring system for growing mycelium was developed. Mycelium growth and output relies on three main variables, temperature, humidity, and gas exchange. Given these inputs, a system process and outputs fit for a monitoring system was identified. The simulation of the logic circuit was done through Logisim software. Using the fabricated logic circuit, a corresponding CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) circuit and stick diagram was created as well. This paper was able to identify a system process, logic circuit, CMOS diagram, and stick diagram for a maintenance and monitoring system for growing mycelium. The results of this paper, x = a’ + b’ + c’ and y = abc where a, b, and c are the temperature, humidity, and oxygen level of the environment and x and y are the alarm and ideal condition indicators, can be utilized and adapted for mycelium agricultural growing monitoring systems. This will help improve the process of growing agricultural products as it can help minimize errors and defective outputs.
