If you are designing your own intelligent “Graden Computer” with an optional digital plant moisture sensor/water pump controller that lights an LED to alert the user when it is time to water a potted ...

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

My shed is mostly done, which means I'm moving onto other projects that look a lot like landscaping. Lawns, gardens, etc. I want to be efficient in my watering, and potentially even lazy and have ...

Although we generally think of Internet of Things (IoT) and similar devices as things that are scattered around above ground, there are plenty of reasons to also have such devices underground. These ...

This study presents the development and implementation of an innovative landslide detection system employing a combination of Arduino microcontroller, metal strip accelerometer, and soil moisture ...

As a preview of his latest book, Arduino Project Handbook: 25 Practical Projects to Get You Started, Mark Geddes takes us through the project to create a simple plant monitor. In this project I’ll ...

It’s not infrequent that we see the combination of moisture sensors and water pumps to automate plant maintenance. Each one has a unique take on the idea, though, and solves problems in ways that ...
