Abstract
The study and implementation of an Arduino-based Digital Plant Control System involve the study of many disciplines, which include but is not limited to, the study of plants, the study of feedback and control systems, and the study of microcontroller systems. Due to the ongoing pandemic as of the time of this writing, the experiment was conducted on a simulation basis, wherein an Arduino circuit was constructed on a simulation software called Tinkercad. The system involves a temperature sensor that acts as an indirect controller to the watering system. Whenever the plant’s temperature would exceed a predetermined temperature threshold, it would prompt the watering system to provide water to the plant. Just the same, the key properties of the feedback and control system created were successfully implemented and measured. The watering system’s response time, peak time, and settling time were all measured and analyzed in the experiment, which gave the group a deeper understanding of feedback and control systems as a whole.
