Introduction
The Plant Watering project is an engaging and educational activity designed for users interested in automating plant care using technology. This project utilizes a micro:bit to create a system that waters plants automatically based on soil moisture levels.
Key Features:
- Automatic Watering: The system activates a micro servo to water plants when moisture levels drop below a certain threshold.
- Hands-On Learning: Users will learn about electronics, programming, and the importance of plant care.
- Materials Required: The project requires basic materials such as a micro:bit, battery pack, servo, and simple household items like nails and clips.
Use Cases:
- Educational Settings: Ideal for classrooms to teach students about technology and biology.
- Home Gardening: Perfect for hobbyists looking to simplify their plant care routine.
- STEM Activities: A great project for STEM clubs or workshops focusing on practical applications of coding and electronics.
