The first CAD modeling was done to be discussed in class today (snapshots below). For now, the product has the following components:
- Top Plastic cover, on which the plant pot will sit (LOGO visible on top)
- Notification system, with diffused LED light that becomes brighter as more user attention is needed. This notification system uses the LCD display screen in order to communicate where the attention is needed. For the scope of our project, the only notification is to refill the water storage unit. We are designing it so that future expansion is easy: we could add sensors to detect the amount of light hitting the plant, the humidity of the room, etc. and have the notification system alert the user for all the situations.
