Final project

VitaPot

---

I love plants, I'm surrounded by them in my house. I'm fascinated by the incredible shapes and variations each of them has. As an illustrator, I enjoy making botanical illustrations. They help me to delve into every detail and it is a very therapeutic activity. For my final project, I want to link the digital manufacturing processes and technologies of the fourth industrial revolution with my passion for plants and nature. That's why for my project I want to develop a smart mother, who has the ability to send valuable information about the plant he's storing and his environment. This project I want to call "VitaPot" a living mother, which communicates the climatic conditions, humidity, temperature and wind, and additionally has the ability to give water to the plant. I want to use for this project internet of Things technology and augmented reality.

Initially I plan for the project to use 3D printed models, with some additional laser cut parts. The idea is that the mother has several spaces to store the sensors, the processor and a space to store water and a motor pump. The sensors will be connected to the Photon device, which has the ability to send sensor data over Wifi and store it on a web server, and then be checked from the phone via an app or computer.

Description

The Photon is a tiny Wi-Fi IoT device for creating connected projects and products for the Internet of Things. It's easy to use, it's powerful, and it's connected to the cloud. The board itself uses a Cypress Wi-Fi chip (one that can be found in Nest Protect, LIFX, and Amazon Dash) alongside a powerful STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller. It's like the Spark Core. But better.
