CONCEPT

The concept for this project is to create a tangible way of monitoring the light and moisture level of my plants.
By using an LCD display, a light sensor, and a soil humidity sensor and connecting it to the arduino I was able to further understand the needs of my plants.

BILL OF MATERIALS

  • ARDUINO UNO R3
  • BREADBOARD
  • LCD MONITOR
  • POTENTIOMETER
  • PHOTORESISTOR
  • SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
  • 2x RESISTOR 220?
  • PLANT
  • LIGHT
  • WATER

SCHEMATIC

NEXT STEPS

This project could evolve in two ways:

  1. Create an alarm or connect an LED so that it triggers when the light is too low or soil is too dry.
  2. Create a system that waters the plant depending on the amount of light it is receiving and the dryness of the soil
