Purpose — I needed a way to get into learning Arduino by myself, and Ive been forgetting to water the plants, so I figured I’d engineer something to solve both problems.

I uploaded the code, and all other relevant files to a GitHub Repository:

The machine consists of 4 main parts:
- The soil moisture sensor→ sends back data to the Arduino
- The pump → adds water to the environment
- The Circuit → contains the Arduino, MOSFET(a transistor) and more
