PROJECT ONE: Intelligent Tulip Water Device
WHAT WE’VE GOT HERE
Decorate your room with tulips, and make your home a pleasant space. But what if I am too busy to take care of the lovely tulips? Now imagine your tulips will remind us when they are thirsty! We can set up a “conversation” with the help of Moisture Sensor, which can detect the electric resistance of the soil, and thus can show us the soil moisture by the 4-Digital-Display.
When the moisture is below the value you have set, the buzzer will respond in a blast of sound of “DEE DEE”, reminding you of their need of water. At this moment, the Relay will initiate the motor to water your Tulips.
THE CIRCUIT
- Parts:
- Grove - Moisture Sensor
- Grove - Buzzer
- Grove - Relay
- Grove - 4-Digital-Display
- Grove - Base-BoosterPack x 1
- LaunchPad MSP430G2 x 1
RESULT
When the soil turns dry and its moisture index is below the value you have set, the Buzzer will ring and the Relay will initiate the motor automatically until the moisture of soil reaches the parameter you set in the device.
PROJECT TWO: Intelligent Lamp
WHAT WE’VE GOT HERE
Have you ever had this idea? When someone gets closer or the night falls, the lamp of your room will turn on automatically. When someone leaves or the day dawns, it will turn off. Now we can work out the magic by Grove PIR sensor and Grove Relay.
THE CIRCUIT
- Parts:
- Grove - Light Sensor
- Grove - Relay
- Grove - PIR sensor
- Grove - Base-BoosterPack x 1
- LaunchPad MSP430G2 x 1
RESULT
When someone gets closer, the Relay will interact with the “lamp” on LaunchPad for 10 seconds, and at the same time the light will be turned on. When it becomes darker, the device works in a similar way.
