Overview / Usage

in the age of technology, where everyone is running against time not having time to even
care about their surroundings and the nature. In an attempt to solve the problem of taking
care of plants even at the time of rush hour, I made an electronic circuit that monitors the
moisture levels in the soil and waters the plants accordingly.
Materials used :

1. Intel edison seed kit/Arduino uno board
2. Arduino extension board
3. Moisture sensor
4. Connecting wires
5. TIP 122 Transistor
6. IN 4007
7. Water pump

Theory:
Automated watering of potted plants with Intel Edison... A Moisture Sensor detects the
low moisture content of soil and activates the water pump or the solenoid valve which
controls the flow of water. When the required water is pumped to the plants, the sensor
automatically stops the pump / solenoid valve. It is a recursive process.
