About this project

What you'll build: Create a handy electronic reminder that checks your plant's soil moisture with a sensor and alerts you when it's time to water, using basic components and easy coding.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly, uses affordable parts, and gives you a practical result you can use at home. Step-by-step instructions help you learn without feeling overwhelmed.

What you'll learn: You'll discover how sensors work, practice wiring circuits, write simple code to read sensor values, and make your own electronic alert system-all with clear guidance.

Milestones
1. Project Setup & Planning
10 marks 5d
Submit a short project plan outlining your goals, parts list, and a simple sketch of your circuit. Completion is a clear plan with all required components identified.
2. Build: Sensor & Microcontroller Wiring
30 marks 10d
Submit photos and a wiring diagram of your soil moisture sensor connected to your Arduino. Completion is a working circuit that reads sensor values (shown in serial monitor).
3. Build: Alert Feature Coding
30 marks 10d
Submit your code and a short video demonstrating the alert (LED/buzzer) triggers when soil is dry. Completion is working code that responds to sensor input and activates the alert.
4. Testing & Final Polish
15 marks 7d
Submit test results showing your system works (photos/videos), plus a checklist for reliability. Completion is a tidy, reliable setup that operates as intended.
5. Demo & Short Report
15 marks 8d
Submit a 2-minute demo video and a one-page report explaining what you built, how it works, and what you learned. Completion is a clear, confident demonstration and brief reflection.
