Summary
- Created by engineer Bartek on Hackaday.io, FYTó is a 3D-printed planter that brings feedback on silent plants into the home.
- The apparatus integrates environmental and soil condition sensors with a small LCD screen displaying a series of expressive faces.
- The planter is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and includes a capacitive soil moisture sensor and a light-dependent resistor.
- An ADS1115 board is also included, to convert the analogue readings into digital signals for the Raspberry Pi.
- The smiling plant appears happy when all readings are optimal, and displays a thirsty or freezing face in response to environmental factors.
