Automatic Plant Watering Sysem

Here is how I made my automatic plant watering system.

What you will need:

An Arduino Uno

L298N Motor Driver - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M29YK5U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm

Peristaltic pump - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791YL351/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm

Soil Hygrometer - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CQT5RC8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm

(2) LED lights (1 red, 1 green)

(2) 220 Ω resistors

Breadboard

9 V DC wall adapter - https://www.amazon.com/Arduino-Power-Supply-Adapter-110V/dp/B018OLREG4/ref=asc_df_B018OLREG4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198063088238&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17067746144159534290&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012087&hvtargid=pla-318768096639&psc=1

Set up the Arduino as shown in the fritzing diagram.

I printed out a 3D encasement for the Arduino, motor driver, and the breadboard. You can design this any way you'd like. I recommend putting on some type of cover to prevent the electronics from water damage if any spills were to happen.

Upload your code to your arduino. The code I used may need to be altered to better fit the watering needs for your plant.

You can create a base like I did or you can have the arudino set up behind your plant. The base I have here was made using poplar wood.
