What if we told you that you need not worry anymore about your plants drying up while you holiday near the sea? Yes, you hear it right! The DIY Automatic Plant Watering System will make sure that your plants stay lush and green while you’re out all on. its. own!
Aim of the Experiment :
To make an automatic Plant Watering System.
Minimum Requirements :
Arduino Uno
Soil moisture sensor
Water pump
Relay module
- Drip Irrigation Kit
Jumper wires
Relay:
Relays are switches that open and close circuits mechanically or electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. When a relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open contact when the relay is not energized.We are using one channel relay in this project for powering up the water pump.Relay have two side of pin connection as shown below:
Input set
- VCC
- GND
- IN(Input)
Output Set
- NO(Normally open)
- Common
- NC(Normally Closed)
