Connection diagram
The following image shows how InteliPot is connected.
​
The diagram was made in Tinkercad.
​
On the left side are the inputs that are the sensors, in the middle is the control that is the Arduino and on the right are the actuators that is the water pump.
3D printing
This is the first InteliPot model, the printer used was the Ender 3 max, the material we used was PLA, we have 6 prints between trial and error, of which 3 came out fine.

This image is the 3D model.
The image was made SolidWorks
Power Source and Water Pump
We use the power source and the H-bridge to control the water pump and thus be able to water the plant automatically.
