The circuit connects the Arduino controller, soil moisture sensor, relay and water pump to create an automated plant watering system.
Arduino Smart Irrigation System Wiring
The Arduino reads the soil moisture sensor and controls the pump through the switching circuit.
The sensor provides soil moisture information to the Arduino so the controller can determine whether watering is required.
The relay acts as the switching interface between the Arduino control signal and the water pump.
The pump supplies water to the plant through a suitable tube or pipe when watering is activated.
The Arduino processes the soil moisture reading and controls the irrigation system according to the programmed conditions.
Arduino Smart Irrigation System Code
The Arduino program reads the soil moisture sensor and controls the irrigation output according to the programmed moisture threshold.
How the Arduino Smart Irrigation System Works
The system combines soil moisture sensing, Arduino processing and automatic pump control.
Sense
The soil moisture sensor measures the moisture condition of the soil and sends the reading to the Arduino.
Process
The Arduino compares the sensor reading with the programmed moisture condition.
Irrigate
When watering is required, the controller activates the switching circuit to operate the water pump.
Smart Irrigation Troubleshooting
These are some common issues that may occur while working with an Arduino automatic irrigation system.
