[2018-05-07]Give my final presentation.
[2018-04-23]Start to prepare final presentation.
[2018-04-16]Give a video demonstration of web control.
[2018-04-9] Now soil moisture can be monitored and controlled remotely on web, in a few weeks other parameters can be seen on web also.
[2018-04-2] Use dimming film or film glass to adjust sunlight intensity (they can change transmittance when they are powered on), the problem is that they can just change the transmittance to a constant value such as 20%.
[2018-03-26] Solving problems in importing UPM modules and testing watering code. Temperature data and soil moisture data can be collected but I met some problems collecting carbon-dioxide data and light intensity data because of importing problems.
[2018-03-19 ] Prepare mini pumper for watering plant and write Python code to control mini pumper.
[2018-03-12] Test all codes for all sensors which can be seen in my Github.
[2018-03-5 ] Finish Python code for light intensity sensor and test Python code for four sensors. JDK (java develop kit) is also needed for UPM and MRAA, which can be installed by following these steps.
[2018-02-26] Keep working on installation of UPM, which needs prerequisite library swig, Jason-C ,MRAA ( Linux Library for low speed IO Communication in C with bindings for C++, Python, Node.js & Java. Supports generic IO platforms, as well as Intel Edison, Intel Joule, Raspberry Pi and many more.)
[2018-02-19] Install Intel UPM, which provides software drivers for a wide variety of commonly used sensors and actuators. Upload Python code for carbon-dioxide sensor MG811 to my Github
[2018-02-11] Complete Python code for DHT11 temperature sensor and YL38 soil moisture snesor which can be seen in my GitHub.
[2018-02-05] Build part of circuit on bread board, finished with temperature sensor Python code. (I will update my circuit later). I have not received carbon dioxide sensor and temperature sensor, I will finish my circuit as soon as I receive them. Keep working on Python code for soil humidity sensor, Carbon dioxide sensor and light intensity sensor.
[2018-01-29] Order sensors for monitoring soil moisture and sunlight, controllers. we need to detect percentage of carbon dioxide, temperature, light intensity and moisture of soil. And adjust them for different plants. Sunlight sensor, soil moisture sensor, carbon-dioxide sensor, temperature sensor and ADC are needed.
[2018-01-22] Create project site
