Description
Workshop
Sunday, 19 February 2023
2.30 – 5.30pm
Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 6 Lock Road, Research Office, Singapore 108934
This DIY technical workshop results in an automatic self-watering plant robot to help greens grow at home. By using Arduino, an easy-to-learn microcontroller for custom-made robots, and by connecting a photovoltaic panel to a battery that powers a soil-moisture-controlled automatic water pump, home-grown crops won’t dry out while owners are on holiday. The workshop consists of a brief introduction to the individual hardware components and how to connect all parts to achieve a functioning, solar-powered watering robot.
Working in pairs is recommended. Please bring your own laptop.
