## Summary
Ā
Our class was given this project to do as for our second "midterm". The requirements that were given were to make something that can:
Ā
1) Collect plant soil data (capacitance levels of soil).
Ā
2) Collect room environmental conditions (Air Quality, Dust levels, Temperature, Humidity, and Pressure).
Ā
3) Send collected data to a Dashboard on Adafruit.IO.
Ā
4) Receive a signal from Dashboard to water plant for X seconds per press.
Ā
5) Display all data on an OLED screen on system.
