Idea: Remote controlled automatic plant watering

[Deleted73907]

Hi there,

The garden season is one month away or so, and I have been working on my project the last couple of weeks. That kind of stuff that one can do without having actual plants.

1. I tried to develop or to reverse engineer some of the hardware components I am using, in order to cut overall costs and to get a better understanding of the subject-matter I am dealing with. Here you can see a reverse engineered moisture sensor (next to a China sensor), and a small and super cheap camera module.



2. I code almost daily, in order to get a bunch of somewhat reliable bug-free programms which whom I can carry out long term tests in the summer. I've published and I will publish some of this code on github, for the case someone want to take a look at it

GitHub - Florian-Wilhelm/Raspberry-Pi: Small Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico projects

Small Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico projects. Contribute to Florian-Wilhelm/Raspberry-Pi development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

(I am not sure if it is okay to post a github link here, if it is against forum policies please remove)

3. There is also the idea to create a tailored app, instead of using the SSH shell and python. I didn't do much about this idea so far, beside installing the development tools on my laptop and create some loose contacts to colleagues from my workplace with some actual coding experience. I need more time budget for especially this I guess.

4. And there is also my blog, where I post articles related to this project occasionally. Right now, these articles are the only ones getting some traffic (according to google analytics). I hope these numbers will increase with the beginning of spring.

That's all for February. Thanks for reading.
