Texas A&M Greenhouse Air Analyzer

During the spring semester, we were able to order all of our materials, and we began to work on the temperature and humidity sensors. We also welcomed a new member, Sam Donoho, to the team. So, now we have the members Joey, Sam, and Jenny working on sensors, and Nick and Kristen working on the assembly and installation at the greenhouses. We have been able to successfully link cameras to the sensor where it can output the data automatically into a google drive or manually to as an email.

We have made a change to our original plan as we have been advised that the air level sensors aren't as accurate and instead measuring light levels will be more beneficial to the greenhouses. Now we are looking into photo diodes and seeing how we can make a more cost friendly one that is within our original budget. However, it is a new area for all of the members, so we are still unsure on what to do.

We are now planning to complete this project by winter 2021 as all the members will be back on campus to install the components at the greenhouses, and the light levels sensors and bug density sensors will be completed by then.
