Installation and Setup

To use this Smart Garden system, you will need the following components:

• Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
• Sensors (temperature sensor, humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor)
• Actuators (fan, mister, pump)

Follow these steps to set up the project:

1. Download and install the Arduino IDE from the official Arduino website.
2. Clone or download this project repository.
3. Connect the sensors and actuators to the Arduino board according to the project requirements.
4. Open the main.ino file in the Arduino IDE.
5. Install the required libraries listed in the requirements.txt file using the Arduino Library Manager.
6. Upload the code to the Arduino board.
7. Monitor the serial output to observe the Smart Garden system's behavior and adjust the thresholds or logic as needed.

Code Explanation

The Smart Garden system is implemented using an object-oriented approach with separate header and implementation files for the sensor and actuator libraries.

The SensorLibrary class encapsulates the functionality related to sensors, including initialization and reading sensor values. The ActuatorLibrary class encapsulates the functionality related to actuators, such as turning on and off specific actuators.

The main.ino file initializes the sensor and actuator objects, reads sensor values, and performs appropriate actions based on the readings. The irrigation.cpp and lighting.cpp files contain additional functionality specific to irrigation and lighting, respectively.

Make sure to adjust the code according to your specific sensor and actuator connections and requirements.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues or have trouble setting up the Smart Garden system, consider the following steps:

• Double-check the wiring connections between the sensors, actuators, and the Arduino board.
• Ensure that the required libraries listed in the requirements.txt file are installed.
• Verify that the Arduino board and port are

selected correctly in the Arduino IDE.

• Check the serial monitor for any error messages or unexpected behavior.

If the problem persists, consult the documentation of the sensors, actuators, and libraries used in the project or seek assistance from the Arduino community.
