Step 1: Getting Ready With Your WAV Audio FilesFor playing sounds from SD Card using Arduino, we need audio files in.wav format because Arduino Board can play an audio file in a specific format that is wav format. To make an Arduino mp3 player, there...
This was a super fun project that actually combines so many disciplines. We have some tinkering, some fun designs, 3D-Printing. There are sensors and motors and microcontrollers and code. And the best about it, it actually works now and my lemon and...
My wife and I transformed the (rather) small yard in front of our house into a flower garden. It is full of roses, lavender, tulips, dahlias, and shrubs. The open areas are covered in bark chips to keep down the weeds. To make sure that the...

Components required :For this project you would require : SLabs-32DHT 11 temperature and humidity sensorSoil moisture sensorPIR sensor (Optional)Jumper WiresThe connections are very simple. Follow the instructions and the circuit diagram given in the...
Easy PlanterThis project was inspired by a position i was trying to get in monitoring plants, and thought it would be enough to impress the employer to hire me :) I have never been a particularly good gardener, mainly because of forgetting to water the...
In the class ELEC_ENG 327 at Northwestern University run by Prof. Ilya Mikhelson, my partner Alain and myself were tasked with building a product that encompasses a few different requirements, such as server communication and analysis, using an ESP32...
Before starting development, of course, we looked at similar technologies: 1. Chirp! - plant watering alarm by Catnip electronics 2. Plant Environment Monitor - track light, humidity, temperature, soil nutrition (uS), and moisture by ALab...
I actually ‘started’ this project several years ago using my microcontroller of choice at the time, a Particle Photon. I got the basics working easily enough, but I got hung-up on the weather data portion at the time. I have my own weather station which...
Introduction Chlorophytum comosum, better known as green lily or grass lily, filters up to 95 percent of pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, or carbon monoxide from the air, according to a NASA study. So why not use plants to improve the air before...
System OverviewLeaf NodesThe leaf nodes will have several capabilities: Air, Soil and Humidity SensingTemperature regulationWater level monitoringLight sensingSlaves on a larger network for loggingIn addition It would be nice to have the option of a...
Below is an image illustrating the different phases involved in this project:My initial experiments involve seeing whether carrot seeds will germinate in sealed PET bottles containing soil and enough water. Why carrots? There are several reasons: they...
This is an example of using the mcThings platform to create an low-power, wireless, coin cell powered IoT soil moisture sensor! There are some many different use-cases for an IoT solution like this: - Agriculture (duh!): soil moisture levels for produce/farmer...
