Using 3D Printing to Design the System
When creating this system, I wanted every part of it to be intentional. This includes the design for the enclosures. So I started using 3D printing early on to design my automated watering system.
Building the Station
The station is the heart of the automated watering system and will need to be robust enough to handle the readings it will receiving, store those readings, and allow users to configure the watering schedule and process from start to finish.
Building the Sensor
Since the sensor in the automated watering system will be running on batteries, it's crucial to ensure the system is as efficient as possible.
