# Title 
Smart Farm
# Picture 
media: http://www.deviantsart.com/38fdru4.jpg
# Objective
A lot of people don't have the time or resources to grow their own food even though they would like to. 
The goal of this project is to help ordinary people take care of their farms. It automatically waters the plants when it detects that the soil moisture level has gone below a certain treshold.
# Duration
2 hours
# Age Group

# Steps
## Connect the DHT22 sensor
media: undefined

notes: The pin labeled GPIO is connected to one of the pins of the Arduino. Instead of 3.3V, 5V can be used. Data from this pin is processed by the DHT22 library

## Connect the Soil moisture sensor
media: undefined

notes: The soil mosture sensor produces a voltage corresponding to the amount of moisture in the soil

## Connect LCD
media: undefined

notes: The LCD used made up of I2C to communicate. A parallel LCD can also be used

## Connect the Relay
media: undefined

notes: undefined

## Open the Arduino IDE
media: undefined

notes: Code for this project can be found at https://github.com/opethe1st/SmartFarm/blob/master/SmartFarm.ino take note of the pins that are used for the various sensors and make sure the Hardware connections correspond to the Code. Upload the code on the Arduino

# Notes
