Automatic Arduino based plant watering system 

that moisture sensor is great for testing, but short lived in actual use and it will poison your plants with copper oxide (copper and plants do not get along) a better choice would be the capacitive water sensors, they work even when fully sealed

Cool idea. I like it a lot. For me, I'd implement two additions: 1. Have a solar cell constantly charging the lead acid battery. They like to be at high charge at all times, and this removes the need for manual charging. 2. Use water from a water butt which is old rainwater. I'm trying to design a watering software to implement in future. I'm trying to make it as water efficient as possible. I'm thinking something like: intPumpTime = 5 1. Wait 120 minutes 2. Check water level. - If too low, Increase intPumpTime by 1. pump for intPumpTime. Wait 10 minutes. Goto step 2 again. - If too high, reduce intPumpTime by 1. Goto step 1 again. - If within acceptable range, goto step 1 again. I'm thinking something like this would adapt to pump the ideal amount of water based on previous results. And an important aspect not to forget is to give the water time to absorb into the soil before a recheck. If you just pump until the level is met, you could have one side of the flowerbed bogged out, and the other dry as a bone still.

FIVE STARS! God bless Poland! Better and better! Awesome images and great and PERFECT tutorial. A pedagogical achievement as an awesome script. I do love those close details. They're not only very clear but as far as I know you're the first youtuber around to relieve viewers' eye strain that way. Thank you so much Nikodem. You live in a cool environment indeed. That's likely inspiring your ideas ;). Mother Nature thanks you for improving your environment for sure.

I know this video is from 5 years ago, but there's a change that I would make. Those 2-prong moisture sensors become corroded after a fairly short time. You can now get capacitive ones which do not expose any metal to the soil so they last a lot longer.

Cool :) just a note, heat shrink tube and electrical tape do not protect against water

cool project with an exellent finished product! i subscribed because birds said so

I subscribed so I can be like the birds 😋

You could maybe build a Raspberry Pi camera that records the bird nest :)

well done, can you tell me which software did you make your schematic please

Absolutely brilliant!! This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you

somebody buy this man some flux for his soldering station :D

You have very impressive tech skills, sir. Great video. 👍

Can you tell me the function of the mosfet in this schematic?

I think the bird is a Common House Martin

Ahoj dá se tohle aplikovat například pro 5 snímačů vlhkosti které by měly každý své čerpadlo? Děkuju za odpověď

Dzięki mordeczko za świetny kanał

love the birds :)

nice work, how do you connect 12V input to adruino ? doesn’t it damage the board since it works on a lower voltage? hope you’ll reply thanks.

Useful project 👍

what is name of those birds?

Nice video

¡Muy buen proyecto!

i don't have arduino pro mini but have arduino r3. what would be the wiring configuration?

I have a question about your 3d printer, was it worth buying? I was considering the anycubic vyper but i’m not sure about the power usage and micro plastic floating in the air. Is it safe and worth buying?

Can this system work without te Mosfet Transistor?

How about the corrosion on the moisture sensors? Is there any? How does the system work today? Do you have any improvements?

Can you leave this thing on if you are gone from home for a few days? So that your plants are getting enough water

Love this vid! Is 1A power supply enough?

What happened if water in tank is empty?? Then ur water pump may burn in dry run conditions... You should embedd two project in a single project.. I. E. Smart irrigation system with automatic water level control using ultrasonic sensor.. So it gives sustainable solutions zero maintenance...

hi is it possible to use your design without Blynk ? Thank You

Just one problem. I've heard that those moisture sensors oxidize and no longer give accurate readings. Plus, I've tried them and there was a lot of noise. I had to use a 100 readings mean to stabilize it, and then it was very sensitive to changes in position (just tapping it would change the readings) and drifted off rapidly. Maybe my sensor was faulty? I'll have to try it again with another one.

Świetny film!

hi, i have arduino nano. is it save to use 12v powersupply?.. Thanks..

how did you upload the code to the arduino? what did you use to connect it to the computer

wich one is positive for the motor? Green or Yellow?

Hi, how do i add more than one plant ?

Can I use with this using solar panel?

Hi! Can i have the exact measurement/s of the diameter of the 3d printed case? Thanks

What is purpose of mosfet

Hi , can I use the Arduino Nano instead of the Pro Mini ?

can you use( Geekcreit® ATmega328P Nano V3 Controller Board Compatible Arduino Improved Version Module) and if it can how can you coonect it can you send my answer plz

Fajny pomysł

Do Arduino pro commands work on the Arduino nano?

i am doing similar project, may you please help me with prgramme

Thanks for the instructional video.👏🙏🤝🇮🇷

if i want to grow 2 differents plants of course the requirements for both plants are different, so my question is, can i control 1 water pump for both plants? let say at certain time plant 1 need to be watered than plant 2, so the pump will water only plant 1 but for plant 2 not.

Is it posible to use relay?

nice content subscribed

relay vs mosfet?

Thank you for nice video. Can you tell me in what kind of shop in Poland pipe and splitter to water can be found? Especially splitter. I have no idea how to ask google for it:)

Where are you from sir?

Can I use 9volt battery instead of 12volt

Schematic at 1:14

Można prosić o reupload kodu?

Witamy

It cool

4:27 haha yes i would

Give me the schematics bro

nais

no

bro do you have a russian speaking channel?

Body, please sell one to me lol

I'm here for a science project. 7th grade, bitches!! Hell yeah!!

weri gud inglisz ser

ur to fast
