Week 9: Testing our Final model

With the final prototype built, Natasha was able to test its functionality using a home-grown plant.

The final model being tested on a plant

Here, you can see the model at work. The sensors are used to collect temperature, humidity, light, and soil moisture data from the plant environment. This data is then sent to the micro-controller which runs the watering algorithm to determine whether these collected values fall within the ideal moisture range. If the plant moisture falls outside the ideal value, the micro-controller operates the valve that dispenses water to the plant.
