0. I plan to intergrate techniques of:
Fabrication - CNC milling, molding and casting, fiber-felt composites, thermal forming into a pot kit for Moss Growing.
Electrics - DIY soil moisture sensor, measure change of resistance of dry to wet soil, at a certain wetness point the LED light alarm would turn on; if have more time, will have auto watering system as well.
1. Sketch of the system
2. Fabrication Part
Lasercut Layers
Two patterned grid burlap
Parts will come together
Thermal Form
Composites
This composites pot has:
1. resin as matrix at the bottom to seal the burlap layers
2. wood glue as matrix at the top for felts so that water could store at the top layers.
Cover
Come together - Ardurino code - at <400 LED will turn on.
