Automatic Smart Plant Pot - (DIY, 3D Printed, Arduino, Self Watering, Project)

cults3d

Sometimes when we go away from home for a few days or are really busy the house plants (unfairly) suffer because they are not watered when they need it. This is my solution. All the electronics, pumps and water reservoir are contained inside the pot to keep it looking smart. Each pot (if you make more than one) can also be set to the needs of different types of plants. It has an Arduino Nano controlling everything and the cost of the components has been kept as low as possible. Below are links to the parts on Amazon. How to build it video: https://youtu.be/T_tpKoNCVYw CORRECTION: 4:05 into the video I incorrectly say to use 20cm wires to connect the water level sensor. The correct length is 35cm. ========== List of items used in this project and where to find them (the links are Amazon affiliate links and help support this channel at no cost to you): ■ Arduino Nano: https://geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3 ■ Mini submersible pump: https://geni.us/MiniPump ■ 5mm tubing: https://geni.us/5mmTubing ■ Transistor: https://geni.us/2npn2222 ■ Resistors (1k and 4.7k): https://geni.us/Ufa2s ■ Wire: https://geni.us/22AWGWire ■ 3mm LED: https://geni.us/LEDs ■ Water level sensor: https://geni.us/WaterLevelSensor ■ Nuts and Bolts: http://geni.us/NutsAndBolts ■ Soil moisture sensor: https://geni.us/MoistureSensor ■ Half Perma-proto board: https://geni.us/HalfPermaProto ■ PLA Filament: https://geni.us/PLAFilament ■ Battery powered glue gun: http://geni.us/BoschBatteryGlueGun ■ Battery powered soldering iron: http://bit.ly/SealeySDL6 ========== The code can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/DIY-Machines/SmartPlantV1 ========== SAY THANKS: Buy me a coffee to say thanks: https://ko-fi.com/diymachines Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/diymachines SUBSCRIBE: ■ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jc4X-kEq-dEDYhQ8QoYnQ?sub_confirmation=1 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/diy_machines/?hl=en FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/diymachines/ Disclaimer: This video is shared for demonstration purposes only.
