i love plants so i try to make something could help us to plant and using technologies with simple way of coding to reach my target
i use software Tinker cad to design circuits and Arduino ide
i use materials like cardboard and electronics devices like dc motor , Leds , wires , breadboard , power source , moisture sensor and resistor
To turn my ideas and creations into something tangible, real, and interactive.
moisture sensor
resistor 220 ohm
led
water bump
arduino uno
bread board
power source 5V
relay 5V
search for components like resistor and Leds
bread board
drag and drop them in free space
click at and component to edit name and customize numbers and type
wiring component with each other on bread board and arduino
start to connect electronics part with each other in breadboard
moisture sensor works like input to Arduino and need 5V
and water pump works like output and need 5V
press start simulation to test your project if it works well
you can name a new variables to fit with the project idea and call it everywhere
choose block you need from this table drag it and drop and putting them together
i use code blocks to give orders and instruction to my Arduino
you can activate every pin you plugged in wires and component by choosing set pin and number to set HIGH
connect water bump with power source 5V
connect water bump with relay 5V
connect relay with arduino pin number 2 ,GRD , 5v
connect moisture sensor with arduino pins GRD , 5V and A0
arduino with all connections
code uploaded on arduino
when sensor was out of water the water bump is working
if the sensor touch the water the bump stop
code blocks and assemble all electronic parts
sensor has a Variation reads and it needs try every time to do an experiment and open serial monitor and note the output
by tring and error i figure out the solution that hte water stick on the sensor need to make sure that the sensor dry
wires be away from water be careful with component
using Arduino
