Moisture Detection
Monitors soil moisture conditions.
ROBOTICS PROJECT
Smart Irrigation System
Using Arduino
A smart plant-watering project that uses soil moisture sensing to help automate irrigation.
Classes 9th to 10th
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Smart Irrigation System
The Smart Irrigation System demonstrates how electronics and sensors can be used to monitor soil conditions and control watering.
Students learn how a moisture sensor can provide information about soil and how Arduino can use that information to operate a water pump.
