Smart Garden with an Arduino
Now you will connect the Arduino to the breadboard.
Now you will connect the DC motor to a digital port in the Arduino.
Now you will connect the Temperature sensor to an analog port in the Arduino.
Finally you will connect the Soil Moisture Sensor to an analog port in the Arduino.
Programming the Arduino Smart Garden Sensors and Motor
Create an infinite loop under which we will write our code.
Insert the temperature and moisture conditions for the watering of the plant.
Complete Code1
Consider whether an analog output with Pulse Width Modulation would be a more efficient output to control a DC motor. Present your ideas below.
Considering the number of I/O pins of an Arduino and a micro:bit which one is a better microcontroller for a smart garden system. Present your ideas below.
Explain why the sensor input values taken from the analog pins have to be processed with a different mathematical formula depending on the sensor.
Describe why it is important to perform checks on the collected data to see whether the sensors send null or corrupt data.
Consider whether a servo motor would water the plants more precisely and effectively. Present your ideas below.
Expand the Python program with print commands to generate a report of the environment readings every 30 seconds.
