Our first experiment on the "Internet of Things" could be called plantArduino because we had monitorized some data sensors of light, temperature and humidity connected around a simple plant.

With the help of the Arduino board and its Serial monitor function, we are ready to watch at the computer screen the different values that can be mesured by using a LDR (ligth dependant resistor), two simple wires (humidity) and a MCP9700 (temperature).

 This is the program to upload on the Zum Core board.

 

Moreover, if you want to see the messages from the microcontroller in your mobile phone, you need to install the App called "Bluetooth Serial Monitor"
