Creative can make life more convenient. This is a project mainly about making an Arduino smart house to take care of the plant automatically when the people are out for days. In this project, there are many modules you may need, you can choose the crowtail modules cause they are plug and play, very easy to use even you are a beginner sunning with Arduino world.
Before the project, you need to prepare the following materials:
The
Crowduino is 100% Arduino compatible board. It is a microcontroller board based
on the ATmega328 ( datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can
be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, a reset button, and a XBee socket. It
contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. Simply connect it to
a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to
get started.
It
has stranded interfaces for convenient connection. The Crowtail- Base Shield
plugs into Arduino and is the foundation of the Crowtail system. ALL I/O ports
of the Arduino are exposed and adapted into Crowtail connectors which include
digital I/O,analog I/O,and specialized ports(I2C,UART).
3. Crowtail Buzzer The buzzer module is for making sound in your project. It sounds when activated by a logic HIGH signal. Connect the buzzer to any of the D(digital) ports of Crowtail- Base Shiled, you can easily make it sounds with setting the related ports to logic HIHG.
4. Crowtail - Moisture Sensor It is used to test the soil
moisture of environment tree. This sensor uses the two probes to pass current through the soil, and then it reads then resistance to get the moisture level. More water makes the soil conduct electricity more easily (less resistance), while dry soil conducts electricity poorly (more resistance). Compares to the other moisture sensor using the same moisture test method, this module has a super long legs, making it suitable for actually applications.
5. Crowtail - Light Sensor It’s used to test the light
strength of environment tree.The Light sensor module uses the GL5516 photoresistor to detect the light intensity of the environment. The resistance of the sensor decreases when the light intensity of the environment increases. The chip LMV358 is used as a voltage follower to enable you get a accurate data.
6. Crowtail - Temperature & Humidiy Sensor It’s used to test the temperature
& humidity of the office.The module contains a DHT11 temperature & humidity senorthat is a complex sensor with a calibrated digital signal out.It use digital module acquisition technology and the temperature&humidity sensor technology.Sensor consists of a resistance type moisture element and a NTC temperature measuring element. Because of single wire serial interface, it is easy to use the module.
7. Crowtail -
OLED It’s used to
test the soil moisture, temperature & humidity and light strength of living
environment.
8. Crowtail - Serial Wifi x1 it’s the LAN server of company and
can know the environmental state of plant when visit.
All these modules you can get in high quality and low price from Elecrow and the steps you can refer to http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-smart-home-Environment-tree/
