2. Principles and practices¶
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
It was very much emphasized that starting working on your final project the earlier the better as you utilize all the training aspects that propergates every week during class session.

I decided to develop an intelligent system for Solar watering Can. The idea is to develop a solar watering Can for watering gardens, adaptable to a mechanical, manual (hand operated) watering Can. This Watering Can will be somehow autonomous by using solar energy with the help of a solar panel at the back, and the water pump. This device will be used for both watering the garden as well as spraying pesticides. The device will be carried manually to the field and controlled manually by a switch button to start. But it will be connected to a soil moisture sensor to read moisture values in the soil. The pump will be intelligent enough to shutdown automatically if the soil moisture threshold is reached as well as when the pump is about to run dry and hence protect the pump. I think this idea will relieve farmers from hard work and make watering gardens very efficient.
