  2. Goals 1 • Keep track of environmental temperature • If it’s too hot, notify the user on seven-segment display • If it’s too cold, notify the user on the seven-segment display • User-controllable maximum/minimum temperature • Determine ambient light • If it’s too dark, notify the user on the seven-segment display • User-controllable maximum/minimum light level (0-255). • Learn advanced VHDL to make the code extremely efficient

  3. Auxilary Goals 2 • Notification I/O to the VGA port • Releasing water to plant at a user-specified frequency • Playing a beep when too hot/cold/dark An example of the Basys 2’s VGA capabilities

  4. Necessary Materials 3 • A plant • PmodALS - Ambient Light Sensor • PmodTMP3 - Temperature Sensor • Basys 2 board • Auxilary materials: • VGA monitor (readily available) • Water deployment system; small switch from Radio Shack • Beeper

  5. Relevance 4 • Being able to tell if the growing environment is right for your plant • Not having to water your plant manually if it is sensitive to watering times • Sold on a large scale for roughly $100: • http://www.koubachi.com/features/sensor?locale=en • http://gizmodo.com/six-systems-to-monitor-your-garden-without-setting-foot-1448871866 • http://www.houzz.com/photos/1586274/Botanicalls-Plant-Monitor--home-electronics- The final product will have similar features to the popular Botanicalls Plant Monitor

  6. Conclusion 5 • Total cost: $35 for 2 Pmods • Measures the ambient light and temperature and notifies the user of it • Useful in everyday life
