Aim
To build a greenhouse roof that opens when it rains.
Problem statement
Design and implement an automated greenhouse roof control system that adjusts based on real-time weather conditions, optimizing ventilation, temperature, and sunlight exposure to enhance plant growth while conserving energy.
Material used
Input: Rain Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Rain Sensor
The function of Rain Sensor is to detect rain
Servo Motor
Servo motor is used to open and close the roof when it is raining.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is tis to monitor Rain Sensor and Servo motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the rain is detected, Rain sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board oscilates the servo motor to 0 Degree.
Case 2: When the rain is not detected, Rain sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board oscilates the servo motor to 90 Degree.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect Rain Sensor to input 1
Step 2: Connect SERVO MOTOR to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
