Procedure for Automatic Plant Watering System without Flyback Diode

Procedure for Automatic Plant Watering System without Flyback Diode Step 1: Gather Components Arduino UNO Soil moisture sensor NPN transistor (e.g., 2N2222 or BC547) or N-channel MOSFET (e.g., IRF540N or IRLZ44N) Water pump 1kΩ resistor 5V or 12V power supply for the pump (depending on the pump specifications) Jumper wires Breadboard Step 2: Connect the Soil Moisture Sensor Attach the VCC pin of the soil moisture sensor to the 5V pin on the Arduino. Connect the GND pin of the sensor to the GND pin on the Arduino. Attach the A0 pin of the sensor to the A1 analog pin on the Arduino. Step 3: Set Up the Transistor or MOSFET For NPN Transistor: Connect the emitter pin of the transistor to GND . Connect the collector pin to the positive terminal of the water pump. Connect the base pin to Arduino digital pin 8 via a 1kΩ resistor . For N-Channel MOSFET: Connect the source pin of the MOSFET to GND . Connect the drain pin to the negative terminal of the water pump. Connect th...
