Chapter 10. Plant, Meet Arduino!

The things you will learn in this chapter are as follows:

Creating your own sensor with stuff from around your house.

Making your plants talk

Caring for a plant can be a lot of responsibility. After all, they are living things, and you wouldn't want anything dying on your watch!

Gardening can be complex, making sure there is enough sunlight or your plant is getting enough water. Things can go wrong if care isn't taken while tending to your plants.

But you are no ordinary gardener, are you? You are going to use the magical power of the Arduino to bring gardening into the 21st century! We are going to be using the concept of automation as well as the sensors and circuitry we have used before to make our digitally empowered plant!

Problem Statement: Build a smart-gardening system.

Solution: A system that can quantify the amount of moisture in soil, and automatically intimate a human being if the plant needs to be watered.
