As the "Plant Bot" project progresses, we've reached pivotal stages: the final design testing and the initiation of a bulk order. Our comprehensive testing phase was instrumental in validating Plant Bot's capabilities and efficiency. Here are the key takeaways:
- Moisture Sensing: The corrosion-resistant capacitive moisture sensor accurately gauges soil conditions, with an intuitive LED color spectrum ranging from red (dry) to blue (moist).
- Ease of Setup: The user-friendly design allows for a hassle-free setup, with the moisture sensor stake easily inserted into any pot.
- Integrated Features: Plant Bot boasts an integrated pump driver and multi-color LED control, enhancing its functionality.
- Connectivity: With both WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, Plant Bot ensures seamless data transmission, as demonstrated by its integration with platforms like Thingspeak.
- Battery Efficiency: Designed as a low-power IoT device, Plant Bot's battery life is impressive. With the ESP32's minimal power consumption during deep sleep, a single coin cell battery can last up to a week with daily updates.
With the successful conclusion of our testing phase, we're excited to announce that preparations are underway for a bulk order of Plant Bot. This move signifies our confidence in the product and its potential in the market.
A special shoutout to JLCPCB for their unwavering support and expertise. Their role in rapid prototyping without compromising on quality has been invaluable. For those embarking on board design and assembly, JLCPCB is a top recommendation for their exceptional quality, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency.
As we move forward, a big thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your feedback, support, and enthusiasm have been the backbone of Plant Bot's success. Stay connected for more updates on this innovative journey!
