Story

This project is for my 2nd midterm in the IoT(Internet of Things) Bootcamp with Central New Mexico College's Deep Dive Program. This is bringing together components and different aspects of code that I have learned and incorporated into one project in preparation for my capstone. This uses multiple sensors to be able to read about the surrounding environment. The idea beyond that is once the soil moisture probe identifies that the soil is too dry it will automatically water the plant based on preset conditions in the code. If the soil is at "x" level then water the plant and read the sensor again etc. This takes the work out of guessing whether or not your plant needs to be watered. Streamlining the process while using a dashboard on io.adafruit.com where the information is published from the Particle using a WiFi connection.

Fritzing for the Smart Plant watering system

This is the Fritzing to display how the components are wired into the breadboard. Also to show how each component is connected to the microcontroller, power, or ground.
