AAU-SSP-AutoPlant

This project consists of four Python modules: main.py, device.py, moisture.py, and rotation.py. These modules are used to control a device that monitors moisture levels and rotates a motor at specified intervals based on the input from the user.

Files

• main.py: This is the main entry point of the program. It initializes the device and starts the moisture monitoring and rotation processes.
• device.py: This module contains the classes Microcontroller and LED_Strip, which handle the device`s input/output and LED functionality, respectively.
• moisture.py: This module contains the Moisture class, which handles the moisture sensor functionality and checks if the moisture level is too dry.
• rotation.py: This module contains the Motor class, which handles the motor rotation functionality and determines when it is time to rotate.

Usage

To use this code, follow these steps:

1. Connect the necessary hardware components to your microcontroller according to the cable-colors.png.
2. Upload the code to your microcontroller.
3. Run the program and monitor the plant and controller.

Dependencies

This project requires the following dependencies:

• time module: Used for time-related operations.
• device module: Contains the Microcontroller and LED_Strip classes.
• moisture module: Contains the Moisture class.
• rotation module: Contains the Motor class.

Configuration

The behavior of the device can be configured through the following variables in the code:

• MINUTES: The number of minutes in an hour.
• UPDATE_INTERVAL: The time interval (in seconds) between each update of the device`s state.

The behavior of the LED strip can be configured through the following variables in the LED_Strip class:

• LED_BRIGHTNESS: The brightness level of the LEDs. Must be a value between 1 and 100.

The behavior of the moisture sensor can be configured through the following variables in the Moisture class:

• MIN_VALUE: The minimum value read from the moisture sensor when the pot is slightly overwatered.
• too_dry_threshold_dry: The moisture percentage threshold for the "dry" setting.
• too_dry_threshold_normal: The moisture percentage threshold for the "normal" setting.
• too_dry_threshold_wet: The moisture percentage threshold for the "wet" setting.

The behavior of the motor rotation can be configured through the following variables in the Motor class:

• esc_data1 and esc_data2: The pins used for controlling the motor.
• rotation_interval: The interval (in weeks) at which the motor should rotate.
