Project Overview
PlantNode-Aquous is an embedded plant-monitoring and automation system designed to measure environmental conditions and respond through controlled hardware outputs. The project integrates sensor input, microcontroller logic, power regulation, and PCB layout into a compact mechatronics platform.
The design focuses on system-level integration across electronics, firmware, packaging, and practical testing. The purpose of the project was to create a functional control node capable of reading plant-care conditions and supporting automated watering or feedback control.
Core Discipline
Embedded systems, PCB design, sensor integration, and automation.
Tools Used
KiCAD, Arduino/C++, SolidWorks, soldering, circuit debugging, and prototyping.
Design Focus
Compact electronics packaging, environmental sensing, and control logic.
