Project's details
| MudPlanter: Design for a Self-Powered Growth Monitoring System | |
| The student team has designed a self-monitoring and self-sustaining support system for plant-based growth designed to record the growth rate and provide watering based on soil and temperature specifications using the MudWatt “soil-to-electric” as a power source (https://www.magicalmicrobes.com/products/mudwatt-clean-energy-from-mud). Effectively channeling information into a predicted algorithm to produce an expected time of maturity for the plant ultimately. | |
| The basic idea is that the MudWatt will provide power to a series of temperature, soil moisture, and proximity sensors, connected to a PSoC 6 board, executing and recording the information which is transmitted back to the user through some sort of smartphone device, built upon Google Flutter and Bluetooth Communication. | |
| Powered by MudWatt sources Be able to record the height and girth of plants Provide data through Bluetooth communication Interfaced with a smartphone app, using Google Flutter base. Self-watering system based on soil moisture sensors using a DC motor pulley system |
|
| The ideal team will have experience in app-based interfaces telegraphing information from external programs (such as PSoC 6 Creator) Knowledge of basic coding protocols and principles Knowledge of basic circuitry and board sensor address registers is a plus. |
