Arduino Automatic Garden Watering System
Below is a picture with an example of how the system works and how the tests should be performed.
Arduino automatic garden watering system. Last month elecrow have left from the original office and moved to a new office. Watering by hand uses up precious time in our busy schedules which most of us cannot afford. We will miss our original office where we worked so hard for more than two years we will miss everything here the desks the windows and those potted plants that. With a little bit of preparation and arduino on your side you can make a system that will make sure your plants are watered right giving you freedom to tend to whatever you need to while still producing those healthy tomatoes.
Sensor digital pin vonnected to pin 8 int val. Void setup pinmode 13 output. Also hand watering wastes water a precious resource especially during these months. Automatic plant watering system code cc int waterpump 13.
Set pin 13 as output pin pinmode 8 input. Fear no more with an automatic plant watering system. Motor pump connected to pin 13 int sensor 8. We wont be using the digital pin as that just tells the arduino two values high or low we actually want the analog pin that will give the arduino a value from 400 to 1023.
By doing this we can be more specific. The first from left goes to 5v on the arduino the second to ground the third is the digital pin and the fourth is the analog. This variable stores the value received from soil moisture sensor. The soil moisture sensor will sense the moisture present in the soil and will give the output to the arduino.
Set pin 8 as input pin to receive data from soil moisture sensor. How does the arduino automatic irrigation sensor work. Here this system is designed to take the hassle out of watering by watering only when the soil becomes dry all without manual intervention. Step 5arduino automatic watering system tests adjustments.
Logically as the system has an hour pre set to operate you can change the time via software for the time you will do the tests and after you can adjust the operational time. They are called area 1 area 2 and area 3 and you can configure their duration in minutes separately along with the time each day watering starts.
