Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and Software Company that designs and manufactures microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world.

What language does Arduino use?
The Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ functions that can be called from your code. Your sketch undergoes minor changes (e.g. automatic generation of function prototypes) and then is passed directly to a C/C++ compiler.

What is a voltage divider?
A voltage divider is a simple circuit which turns a large voltage into a smaller one. Using just two series resistors and an input voltage, we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input.

How is our project is better than what is out there?
It is cheaper, modular and more customizable.
Preexisting projects similar to greenhouse environment controls include thermostats, humidistats, lighting controls, and pump start controls that can cost thousands of dollars.

What was the biggest challenge during the project?
Coding was the biggest challenge, and was very time consuming.
