AWS re:Invent posts on Twitter about the Builder’s Fair – like a re:Invent science fair. The featured project was AutoPonics, they use AWS services to feed house plants based on hydration levels.
The project uses the Adafruit Blinka CircuitPython compatibility library for Python on SMC boards like the Raspberry Pi. It appears various sensors are used including temperature, humidity, UV level, and soil moisture.
The full source code for the project is on GitHub here.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
