Preamble

A lush green lawn and kitchen garden is everyone’s dream. But it takes a great hard work to maintain the green grass and happy plants. Watering is an important and regular step in garden maintenance. With an automated watering system, it can be easier done than said. Equally is important to keep a check on the humidity levels and difference in water requirements for different types of plants.

Objective

In this project, an automated plant watering system is created to automate the water supply for different plants in different proportions by analysing the moisture and humidity.

Partial Specifications

• The project should be able to check the humidity/soil moisture in order to control the water supply for different plants
• The project should be able to automate watering of plants at a fixed time every day.
• The drip irrigation method uses solar pumps to pump water from the water container to the plant fields.

Suggested Approach

• Arduino Nano. Soil Moisture sensor. Relay switch. DC water pump. IOS or Android Apps for controlling the water planting system

Group Responsibilities

1. Perform Literature review
2. Collect and design the technical information to implement the system under consideration,
3. Implement and test of the entire system with the above objectives,
4. Write a technical report and present the obtained results at the end of this project, describing the main steps of writing the code in embedded C and the technical connection between the hardware units.

Student A Responsibilities

- Design and implement hardware requirements for soil moisture sensing.

Student B Responsibilities

- Design and implement hardware requirements for relay and water supply.

Student C Responsibilities

- Design and implement the hardware connections between moisture sensor, relay and micro-controller.

Student D Responsibilities

-Write and implement the codes for Arduino programming.

Course Co-requisites

Electronic power circuits, programming in C

To ALL EDP Students

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, in the event University is not open for in-class/in-lab activities during the Winter term, your EDP topic specifications, requirements, implementations, and assessment methods will be adjusted by your FLCs at their discretion.
