-The machine's purpose is to bridge the gap between large scale production and home practices. Therefore I will try to make all environmental conditions controllable by the user, so they can experiment, record and figure out what works best for different types of plants in different conditions. This machine will be a tool to prototype ideal conditions before scaling for larger production.  
+Controlled environment vertical farming has in recent years gained recognition as a solid method of sustainability. The system was born out of the challenges affecting the 21st century, specifically issues like food shortage, resource depletion, and overpopulation. The Covid-19 pandemic has also proven the need for self-sustainability and low-km supply chains, which is inherently offered by indoor farming practices.

 I designed and made my PCB using an ATtiny44 microcontroller. Early on I figured that all the different libraries I would need to work the DHT11 and the OLED would not fit in the 4k storage space. So I desoldered the 44 and used an ATtiny84, so that nothing would change but the microcontroller. Eventually I discovered the tiny libraries for OLED and DHT - optimal versions of the full libraries and turned out the code used only 4136 bytes of storage space.  
 
-I made the first layout of the PCB trying to make it as compact as possible by keeping parts close together and traces more optimised on space. Eventually, I changed the layout of the header pins that connect to all different input/ out puts and matched them to their physical location on the machine. This resulted in a much bigger PCB but a very neat layout of all the wiring. I planned it such that the wiring would neatly stretch on the side of the machine, but Neil suggested using a cable manager instead.

 Next, I use KiCAD to put all these schematics together and begin to design my PCB.  
 While making the schematic I realise not all sensors and actuators need to be on the PCB itself, some like the pump and the LED and the DHT11 need to be at a different physical location on the designed box, so I need to add header pins and connect them using wires later.
 To clarify this, I begin modifying my 3D CAD model on Rhino.
