Before we build this thing, we want to test it out to make sure everything is working properly. We'll use:
- A container and some soil or dirt to act as the compost so we can measure and calibrate temperature and moisture levels
- A CPX to hook up our sensors and send the readings to a computer
- A bread board to wire the 4.7K Ohm resistor that is needed to use the temperature sensor
- The waterproof DS18B20 digital temperature sensor
- Two nails for moisture sensing
- Alligator clips
- Breadboard wires
- A micro usb cable
- A computer
- Mu editor for writing code and receiving sensor values
