Today I found some time to connect everything for some initial testing.

I have created a new repository on Github this contains the code and laser cut designs.

I have connected the moisture sensor, leds, button and the pump to the Teensy LC.

I tested the pump, it pumps 23ml/min. The seller says it should pump 100ml/min MAX @ 6V. But I guess I can not complain, since it is a very cheap chines item.

Also looked at the moisture sensor. It was very simple to connect but I noticed it is very sensitive on how I stick it in the dirt. I am not sure if it is going to be reliable enough. I placed the watering hose in the center of the basil and the moisture sensor in the edge.

The next few days I am going to see how/if these components work and where I need to improve. If anybody has some suggestion please let me know.

I also made a short first test movie
