Design and implementation of a modern vertical plant wall with an integrated automated water dripping system for sustainable indoor greenery
REFERANCE : Hydroponic Drip system
This project involves designing a simple automated water drip system using an Arduino, a servo motor, and optional sensors. The servo motor controls the release of water by pinching or unpinching a soft tube at set intervals, creating a controlled drip mechanism. The system can be enhanced with an LED timer to indicate countdowns or integrated with a soil moisture sensor to release water only when necessary
LOGICS
- Moisture Sensor Reading:
- The moisture sensor reads the soil’s moisture level using the analogRead() function.
- If the moisture level is below the moistureThreshold, it triggers the servo to release water.
- Servo Operation:
- The servo moves to the open position (90°) for dripDuration milliseconds, allowing water to drip.
- Then it returns to the closed position (0°).
- LED Indicator:
- The LED lights up during watering to provide visual feedback.
