Plant Growth Data Logger Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Track Plant Growth Conditions with Arduino – Soil, Temp, Light Data Logger 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.
Ever wondered how soil moisture, temperature, and light intensity affect plant growth? This kit turns an Arduino Uno into a long-term data logger that records these conditions every hour onto a microSD card. You'll be able to chart changes over weeks and understand exactly what influences your plant’s health. Whether you’re optimizing a home garden or running a biology investigatory project, the Plant Growth Data Logger gives you precise, time-stamped evidence of environmental factors.
What You'll Build
You'll build a standalone data logging station that reads from a soil moisture sensor, waterproof temperature probe, and precision light sensor, time-stamps each reading with an RTC, displays live values on an OLED screen, and saves everything to a microSD card for later analysis. The result is a rugged, portable unit you can place next to any plant to log weeks of data.
What You'll Learn
- How to interface multiple I2C and one-wire sensors on a single Arduino bus without conflicts
- Using an RTC to timestamp data and maintain accurate logs even after power loss
- Writing CSV data to an SD card for analysis in Excel, Google Sheets, or Python
- Calibrating a soil moisture sensor and interpreting analog sensor noise

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is perfect for CBSE Class 11-12 students building a biology or physics investigatory project on plant growth conditions, and for B.Tech ECE/EEE students needing a solid sensor integration and data logging project. It’s also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding students through data logging concepts, and for Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping agro-tech solutions.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with our AI companion trained on this exact kit; it can answer wiring, code, and calibration questions instantly. Or you can reach our support team on WhatsApp for real-time help.
Can I log data from multiple plants at once?
Yes, the kit includes a breadboard and enough wiring to add additional moisture sensors or temperature probes to the same SD card log, and the AI companion can show you how to expand the logging code.
How long can the logger run on a 9V battery?
With hourly readings and the OLED dimmed between writes, a fresh alkaline 9V battery lasts about 48 hours. For multi‑week logging, connect a USB power bank or a DC adapter to the Arduino’s barrel jack.
Can I view the data in real time on my PC?
Data is saved to the microSD card; you can remove the card periodically and open the CSV file on a computer. The OLED shows live readings, but real‑time PC streaming requires adding a serial connection—our AI companion can guide you through that modification.
Soil moisture + temperature + light logged every hour to SD. Charts growth conditions over weeks.
