Ep.51 Automated House Plant Watering with Arduino Project Part 1

3,431 views 3 months ago

This project was inspired by the fact that I will be leaving my house for two weeks during the holidays and absolutely needed to take care of my house plants. The goal here is to automate the process with the Arduino and not have to rely on neighbors failing to show up.

Relevant Tutorials:
1. Analog: https://youtu.be/u_2SLqrKWLM

Goals:
- To connect an analog Soil Moisture Sensor
- To gather data on the Arduino and display it on the Serial Monitor.
- To scale the data into a meaningful range.

Hardware Required:
- Soil Moisture Sensor: FC-08
- Breakout board for the sensor above
- Arduino
- Jumper Cables

Optional Hardware:
- Breadboard
