Fun project for getting started with IoT and keeping your plants happy. Shared by Orion Maker on Instructables:
This project inspiration came from my guinea pigs. Since I am too lazy to water their beloved wheat grass every day, I decided to make IoT automatic plant watering system which can be controlled through smartphone.
For those who are tired of watering their plants by themselves, congratulations!!!
I recommend this project for people who have just started learning about Internet of Things.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
