UFO is a sustainability focused Student Group @ University of Alberta whose mission is to invent and build sustainable agriculture technologies. See our website here.
The Arduino code is the latest version of our program that controls our rolling vertical farm. At a high level this program:
- turns the water pump on/off as a function of water level (protects pump from running dry)
- turns the LED lighting on/off as a function of time of day
- opens/closes exhaust vents as a function of humidity and temperature
- turns exhaust fans on/off when exhaust vents are opened
