1. Project summary
---
The **Aeroborator** is a small table top planter to grow herbs and kitchen garden plants. It uses a sprinkler system to spray a nutrient solution directly on the roots with a water pump from a reservoir. This method doesn't use any soil and reduces the amount of water used to grow plants. It measures temperature and humidity through a sensor and displays it on an OLED screen. This helps in monitoring the conditions. It also has a light sensor and LED grow lights that use specific UV frequency to enhance the growth of plants. Both the light and the speed of water flow can be controlled with regulators on the side of the machine.
It is made keeping in mind experimentation with the speed of water flow and the light. So one can change the parameters and find out what works best for different types of plants.
It is meant to figure out settings before making a larger scale hydroponics system.
I started by learning what is already done.
There are many commercially available hydroponic growing systems.
Some particular ones I like are:

Next, I generate the Netlist and load it in the pcbnew of KiCAD. I arrange all header pins in a linear fashion so that they do not get jumbled and don't cross each other like in the model.
