Hello
I am very new to Arduino and I have a project in mind to create a small automatic watering system for my Greenhouse, which will automatically pump water at a specified time of the day. I have a water pump and an RTC for the timing.
While the forums are great and there are loads of tutorials I can draw from, I still struggle even to find a starting point for the whole project and I was hoping for advice about how other Arduino users approach a new project. What steps do you consider first when designing a project?
I am taking the approach to hack together a couple of tutorials. I have found this video for the motor and am guessing that I need to somehow replace the switch with the RTC connection, so that this acts as the switch
I have also found links to download a library for the RTC to set the date and time.
Am I jumping the gun? Should I study the fundamentals first?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
