Ecotech intent– AndrewG

Caring for plants can often be difficult, they can die from lack of water, overwatering, too much sun exposure, not enough sun, the list goes on. I want to make an automated succulent garden. I will use an Arduino, LEDs, a small water pump, and a moisture sensor. Using the internet to research different plant species and their individual needs, I will be able to program specific watering cycles and adjust the amount of light that the plants receive.

This project is out of personal interest, but if others want one, it will all be open source.

Budget:

Arduino: Owned

LEDs: Owned

Moisture sensor: Owned

Clock sensor to keep time intervals: Owned

LCD Screen for updates: Owned

Water pump/ Tubing: $30

Unit Materials: haven’t decided. Laser cutting?
