Design Requirements
Growth Optimization | The system must output sufficient light from LEDs to maintain plants |
The system must be able to provide 200 total gallons for aquaculture and hydroponics (Divided 1:1) | |
The system must output 10+ heads of lettuce | |
User Alert | The system temperature must be monitored to 1C |
The system water level must be monitored to 1cm | |
Occupancy must be detected within 1m of the system | |
The grow light level must be detected to 1lux | |
Overall Requirements | The system must cost less than $1000 |
An alarm must be triggered if any of the measurements taken above vary beyond acceptable parameters (Below) | |
A screen must display measured data to users |
-The alarm will sound if the flood/drain rate isn’t between 10 and 20 minutes
-The alarm will sound if the temperature isn’t between 40F and 75F
-The alarm will sound if the grow light is not ON for at least 14 hours per day
