EcoDuino - set for automatic plant watering - DFRobot KIT0003

Smart device for automatic watering of the plants. Thanks to the humidity sensors connected to the controller compatible with Arduino, the module detects when to run the pump which waters the plant through the hose.

The device is compatible with Arduino Leonardo which means it can be programmed using free environment of Arduino IDE via micro usb cable.

In order to start DFRduino, it is necessary to connect the system to computer using microUSB cable (included) and select inthe Arduino IDE, the Arduino Leonardo board. User manual along with a sample program for Arduino can be found inthe Wiki Doc system.

Schedule of connecting elements, a detailed description is inthe user's guide.

The device consists of two main modules: main board and pump.
