We can’t wait for spring to arrive, and we’re looking forward to caring for some plants! We designed this little add-on for [micro:bit](https://www.adafruit.com/category/1009)or **[CLUE](http://www.adafruit.com/clue)** boards – bolt it on with 5 screws to get a buzzer/beeper, motor driver, and breakouts for connecting a [soil sensor](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=soil%20sensor) (two alligator clips + nails work just fine). Simple, but effective!

- **8mm Buzzer/Speaker on pin P0** - have your plant kit beep when it wants watering, or have it sing a song when its nice and happy.
- **3V Motor control (on/off) on pin P2** - connect to a water pump to automatically water dry plants
- **Alligator clip pads for pin P1, 3V and GND** - connect to two alligator clips and nails to measure soil resistance

Works with micro:bit in Arduino, MicroPython or MakeCode. For CLUE, you can use CircuitPython or Arduino.
