Applications and Implications:-

Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered,
answering:
What will it do?
Who's done what beforehand?
What will you design?
What materials and components will be used?
Where will come from?
How much will they cost?
What parts and systems will be made?
What processes will be used?
What questions need to be answered?
How will it be evaluated?

 

 

Your project should incorporate 2D and 3D design,
additive and subtractive fabrication processes,
electronics design and production,
embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming,
system integration and packaging
Where possible, you should make rather than buy
the parts of your project
Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual
mastery of the skills, and be independently operable

 

 

Introduction

This week we will be documenting about the final project. Its function, parts, cost, process involved and evaluation criteria. How i developed it.

 

The inspiration for this project came to my mind reminding the flower pots in garden in my house.I am fond of flower plants.I bring various fascinating flower plants from other places where ever i visit.So they are close to my heart and and need special care like.....

• Timely water

• Save from intruing animals

• Ligting at night and more....!!

To solve this problem this project came to my mind. The flowchart of this project

 

 

What It will Do?

 

The combination of internet of things (IoT) with environmental sensing and image processing device has opened a new era to monitor the health of plants. Classification of plant diseases in early stages using image processing and analyzing environmental sensing data not only helps farmers to get healthy plants but also maximize the production. It helps in sensing the soil humidity ,moisture and water in the soil.It also protecs the plants from the intruding animals at night which swits on the ligh when it senses the motion in the garden area and switches on the light.A sound alarm insted of the light can also be connected to sound the alarm so that the gardner/farmer may watch the intruder and save the plants from distroying.

 

 

Who's done what beforehand?

Same project can also be made available in inctructables an many more websites.

 

What will you design?

 

1. Casing: It Holds every thing together, mechanism, electronics, and material.
   - Design for assembly
   - Design for fabrication
   - Design for cost
   - Design for versatility
2. Electronics design: Design the board for holding the ESP8266 Node MCU and the Temperature and Humidity Sensors vibration sensors
3. Programming: 
   - Embedded programming for the microcontrollers
   - Connect via ADA fruit Library and creating the interface for monitoring the feedback of the all the sensors.
4. Networking:
   communication protocol between main board and the secondary modules

4. Vinyl Cutting
5. PCB milling
6. Stuffing, Soldering, testing, debugging
7. Embedded programming
8. Assembly
9. Testing
10. Iteration

 

 

What questions need to be answered?
1. Does it sensoses the data correctly and whether it is synchronised to the condionts of the soil
2. Does it the pump starts Simultaneously on getting feed back from the sensors
3. Does displays the data correctly on the AD Fruit platfrom
4. Is it bulky

 

How will it be evaluated?

Working of the Sensors.

Getting all the sensors working,ie soil humidity sensor,Photoresistor,vibration sensor correctkly and they all worked fine.

 

Working of the Submersible attached pump.

All the sensors were working fine.But there was some delay in switching off and switching on of the submersible pump.

 

Sending the Sensor data and getting feed back from the sensors on ADA Fruilt Platform.

All the sensors sent the correct data but there was some delay in sending the data.

 

Working of the Whole smart plat monitoring system.

The Whole system worked fine but there was some lag in time for the sensors and submersible motor.

 

Is the System was bulky

System was not too bulky but the connection to the sensors were to be made accordingly.
