Automatic Smart Plant Pot - Arduino, Self Watering, Project

prusaprinters

<p>Print, assemble and program your own intelligent Smart Plant Pot. With a hidden water reservoir, pump and sensors why not make your plant care easy.</p> <p>With an Arduino Nano at its core this project uses a water level sensor to let you know when to refill the concealed tank and a solid moisture sensor to figure out when to water your plant based on its needs.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Here is the video instructions for assembly: <a href="https://youtu.be/T_tpKoNCVYw">https://youtu.be/T_tpKoNCVYw</a></p> <p>==========<br/> CORRECTION: 4:05 into the video I incorrectly say to use 20cm wires to connect the water level sensor. The correct length is 35cm.</p> <p>List of items used in this project and where to find them (the links are Amazon affiliate links and help to support this channel at no cost to you):</p> <p>■ Arduino Nano: <a href="https://geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3">https://geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3</a><br/> ■ Mini submersible pump: <a href="https://geni.us/MiniPump">https://geni.us/MiniPump</a><br/> ■ 5mm tubing: <a href="https://geni.us/5mmTubing">https://geni.us/5mmTubing</a><br/> ■ Transistor: <a href="https://geni.us/2npn2222">https://geni.us/2npn2222</a><br/> ■ Resistors (1k and 4.7k): <a href="https://geni.us/Ufa2s">https://geni.us/Ufa2s</a><br/> ■ Wire: <a href="https://geni.us/22AWGWire">https://geni.us/22AWGWire</a><br/> ■ 3mm LED: <a href="https://geni.us/LEDs">https://geni.us/LEDs</a><br/> ■ Water level sensor: <a href="https://geni.us/WaterLevelSensor">https://geni.us/WaterLevelSensor</a><br/> ■ Nuts and Bolts: <a href="http://geni.us/NutsAndBolts">http://geni.us/NutsAndBolts</a><br/> ■ Soil moisture sensor: <a href="https://geni.us/MoistureSensor">https://geni.us/MoistureSensor</a><br/> ■ Half Perma-proto board: <a href="https://geni.us/HalfPermaProto">https://geni.us/HalfPermaProto</a><br/> ■ PLA Filament: <a href="https://geni.us/PLAFilament">https://geni.us/PLAFilament</a></p> <p>■ Battery powered glue gun: <a href="http://geni.us/BoschBatteryGlueGun">http://geni.us/BoschBatteryGlueGun</a><br/> ■ Battery powered soldering iron: <a href="http://bit.ly/SealeySDL6">http://bit.ly/SealeySDL6</a></p> <p>==========</p> <p>The code can be downloaded from here: <a href="https://github.com/DIY-Machines/Smart">https://github.com/DIY-Machines/Smart</a>...</p> <p>==========</p> <p>SAY THANKS:</p> <p>Buy me a coffee to say thanks: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/diymachines">https://ko-fi.com/diymachines</a><br/> Support us on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/diymachines">https://www.patreon.com/diymachines</a></p> <p>SUBSCRIBE:<br/> ■ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jc">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jc</a>...</p> <p>INSTAGRAM: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/diy_machine">https://www.instagram.com/diy_machine</a>...<br/> FACEBOOK: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/diymachines/">https://www.facebook.com/diymachines/</a></p> <p>Disclaimer:<br/> This video is shared for demonstration purposes only.</p>
