Plant-Bot

Proof that a college education allows you to do something useful - behold my son's farming 'bot. He had some time off between exams and coming home for Christmas so built a farming bot that monitors water and nutrient levels in the soil and adjusts them automatically.  It also turns on/off the grow lights.

All built with and ardino (sp?) board and some spare parts.

Now if I could only get him to be as industrious finding a job since he graduates in May....

Very clever! I initially read that as "paint bot" and my interest was certainly piqued!

I need that to look after my pot of Basil, Isabella!
