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:  

 

   waterproofing tutorial   

  - 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
