GARDUINO
The goal of the the Garduino project is to make a solar-powered automated greenhouse. We're currently using an Arduino Mega for this project.
Resources <3
This has some resources if you missed a meeting or don't understand a concept :)
1st Meeting (Fall 23) - RECAP and GOALS: Garduino 1st Meeting.pdf
What is Arduino? How are we using it:
Sensors
Soil Moisture Sensors:
NOTE - we will use these as an analog sensor
There was two main types of soil moisture sensors we considered; Capacitive or Resistive.
Capacitive or Resistive Soil Moisture Sensors
We bought the capacitive sensors these ones: amazon link
This link was also helpful: helpful :)
waterproofing info:
- we just ended up using clear nail polish and heat shrink tubes
Water Level Sensors (Float Switches)
NOTE - we will use these as an digital sensor: these are the type we got
