SMART GROWING POT(SGP)

HELLO guys!

This is my 1st Instructables project! its called Smart Growing Pot

It is my Finally Year Project currently and i am graduating at the end of this month.

i was notified that i has been selected to participate in a special raffle for a Dremel!

So in this project i will share to you how the project works, and all the development process

Step 1: ​CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT

- Not enough time for gardening as gardeners are working and having vacation at the same time.

- Unpredictable weather in Malaysia causes gardening to be more difficult

. - Plant does not grew up according to plan and easily died.

1.1 TARGET USER

- Housewives

- Gardener that working and love to go vacation

1.2 OBJECTIVES

- To identify the important elements in gardening.

- To develop a Smart Growing Pot by implementing the identified important elements

- To evaluate the test result from the prototype.

Step 2: CHAPTER 2 METHODOLOGY

Collect requirement from respondents

-interview

-survey

Materials needed

- Arduino Mega

- Breadboard

- Jumper wires

- Wifi Shield

- 3 sensors ( temp , light, soil )

- Resistors

- Speaker

- Plant

- Acrylic glass

-IC Board

Step 3: CHAPTER 3 TESTING

Observation testing

1. Test between Normal vs Controlled condition

- Normal condition : 1 volunteer will take care of the plant normally with normal daily routine ( working)

- Controlled condition : 1 volunteer will take care of the plant with SGP system.

great stuff.!! are you familiar with my work.?
i can suggest updating to nodemcu + blynk to display data and control watering/light from smartphone

[IddhamS]

yeah bro, thanks a lot. will try to modify it soon :)

[DIY Hacks and How Tos]

Great indoor gardening setup

[IddhamS]

thanks a lot! :D

[Makersteve]

Nice project! I am currently building something very similar (Instructable coming after the Instructable for my Boombox), and congrats for your award.

[IddhamS]

thanks bro, not yet complete, still in final exam week, will be continue after my final exam finish
