Master Plant Science with Arduino Mega: Hydroponics vs Soil Growth Comparison Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

You'll assemble two identical sensor nodes — one in soil, one in a hydroponic reservoir — and program an Arduino Mega to continuously compare temperature, moisture, and light. The data streams to an OLED screen and stores to microSD with precise timestamps. Whether you're testing for a school science fair or a B.Tech minor project, this kit turns a plant experiment into a rigorous, measurable investigation.

What You'll Build

A dual-channel environmental monitor that tracks two growing systems in real time. You'll set up side-by-side containers (not included) with one plant in soil and another in a hydroponic setup, then position the DS18B20 probes, moisture sensors, and light sensor to feed data to the Arduino Mega. The result: a portable data logger that displays live readings on the OLED and saves CSV files for later analysis — giving you hard numbers to decide which method wins.

What You'll Learn

• Calibrating and interpreting DS18B20, capacitive soil moisture, and digital light intensity sensors
• Structuring data-logging loops with DS3231 real-time clock for timestamped CSV files
• Multiplexing sensor inputs on Arduino Mega to run parallel soil and hydroponic comparisons
• Using statistical reasoning to compare plant growth conditions — turning raw sensor data into actionable conclusions
