I am currently a student at John Brown University in Arkansas and for my Embedded Systems project, I developed a device that would display necessary feedback to the user about different potted plants/ herbs that are being grown. The device is made up of Texas Instruments' MSP430-EXP5529 Launchpad which is connected to a light sensor (PV cell), temperature sensor and a moisture sensor. The sensor readings are displayed on the graphical LCD screen on the Launchpad. In addition, the device is connected to a DC motor that is attached to a rotating platform which will rotate the potted plant whenever it needs more light. A picture of the project is attached.
