Robotics: AquaMind
Team project, presented to the class with a live demo
A plant watering system that watches the soil and waters each plant only when it actually needs it, instead of on a fixed schedule.
- 1Soil sensorreads moisture
- 2Arduino Unochecks the threshold
- 3Relayswitches the pump
- 4Pump and dripwater the roots
Wet soil conducts better than dry soil. When moisture drops, the Arduino triggers the relay, since its 5V signal can't power the pump directly. Once the soil is wet enough, it switches off by itself.
