Aim
To build planters that move indoors when it rains.
Problem statement
“Design an intelligent rain-responsive window planter system that autonomously adjusts watering levels based on real-time weather conditions, ensuring optimal moisture for plants while conserving water during rainy periods. Consider incorporating sensors, actuators, and a user-friendly interface for customization.”
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 save the plants from rain.
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.
