Video 15: Automating Plant Watering¶
This tutorial covers the use of a soil moisture sensor with Arduino to monitor soil wetness and automate watering through code and hardware demonstrations.
Soil Moisture Sensor Basics: Introduction to the soil moisture sensor, its pins, and how it measures soil moisture.
Sensor-Arduino Wiring: Step-by-step instructions on connecting the moisture sensor to the Arduino.
Arduino Code for Moisture Reading: Explanation of Arduino code to read and interpret moisture levels from the sensor.
Understanding Sensor Output: Analysis of the sensor’s output values to determine soil moisture conditions.
Automated Watering Logic: Development of an advanced Arduino code to automate watering based on soil moisture levels.
Practical Implementation and Testing: Demonstrations of the sensor in action within soil, showing how the system can trigger a buzzer or control a water pump for automated watering.
