Required Materials

To follow along with the project at the end of this tutorial, you will need the following. You may not need everything, though, depending on what you already have and which sensor you prefer. Add it all to your cart and modify as necessary.

Note: The 9V battery isn't suitable to keep plugged in for long periods of time. With this current configuration, the project will last plugged in for about a day. We recommend only powering the project when you want to see how your plant is feeling!
