Garduino is a gardening Arduino. So far, Garduino: -Waters my plants whenever their soil moisture level drops below a predefined value. -Turns on grow lights, but only when it’s dark out and only long enough to make the plants get 15 hours of total light (sunlight + supplemental light) daily. -Alerts me if the temperature […]

This instructable will help you to build an Arduino Binary Clock. The orignial idea for this instructable was designed by Daniel Andrade. My instructable uses surface mount components, but can easily be adapted to through-hole components if you wish. You can follow my other Instructable for Building Your Own Arduino to get started. I would

This is my first Arduino project aimed at helping me with my other hobby which is growing oyster and shiitake mushrooms indoors. In a nutshell, the controller takes in two temperature readings, 1 Humidity reading and 1 Co2 reading and triggers a set of four relays connected to mains power. Intended to be connected to
