The ELECFREAKS micro:bit Smart Greenhouse Kit (10 Sets) is an innovative educational tool designed to simulate plant growth, specifically tailored for primary and secondary school students. This kit facilitates a comprehensive understanding of modern smart planting principles and their practical applications. It employs the micro:bit as the main board and the IoT:bit as the expansion board, providing a robust platform for students to engage with the technology.
Within the greenhouse, plant seeds are placed in a designated growth groove at the base, covered by a transparent greenhouse cover that allows for easy observation of plant development. The kit is equipped with light sensors and soil moisture sensors to monitor the plant growth environment effectively. Additionally, it features eight rainbow light rings that adjust the lighting conditions in response to environmental changes, and 3V water pumps with relays to automate the watering process.
Students can utilize a graphical programming platform to execute simple programming commands, enabling intelligent control over the plant growth environment. This setup allows for real-time data transmission to an IoT platform dashboard, where students can conduct detailed data analysis and share their findings. The kit is designed with a focus on safety, ensuring that the expansion board is positioned away from the water pump to prevent any risk of short circuits due to water exposure.
