b. Connecting it to other components, extending to multiple systems:
- Altering code as we go (testing for the optional water dosage)
- Adding on the second and third system

1. Final set up
1. Final set up
- Silicon and electrical tape to protect wires
- Only 1 pump
- No solenoid valves (small project - unnecessary)
Problems
Problems
- Our moisture sensors were oxidized
- Soldering kept falling off
- Humidity affects moisture levels
Benefits of our new system:
Benefits of our new system:
- Helps reduce water present in the pot
- Saves energy (one less watering set)
