Week 1 Assignment:Principles and Practices

My first project idea was to make a electronics component storage. Later I moved to something related to agriculture as it would relate to my thesis in college. So now my plan was that to make an automatic planter box that works on the basis of humidity sensor. But I found it is omewhat simpler. So choose Hydroponics. Eventhough this system is available in the market, most of them are costly and also large in size. So I decided to make a hydroponics system which is compact , portable and can automatically controlled.

Here I plan to adopt a slanting structure so that both the stand should get light and space equally. From the reservoir water should be pumped to the top pipe. From the outlt of the 1st pipe, its connected to the inlet of the second pipe and then again to the reservoir. This is how I plan to do the case of water cycle. From another tank, nutrients should be pumped to the main reservoir whenever it is needed. Both these pumps should be worked through a mobile app through wifi or Bluetooth. Here by the help of bluetooth module to initiate the master and by I2C as in week 15 to activate the driver boards and hence the pumps.
