What is iPlanter with C++?
iPlanter is the only programmable and open-source hydroponic controller designed and engineered in Hong Kong. This brings you healthy hydroponic crops to your dining table and can sharpen your coding skill during the process.
With iPlanter C++, you will learn how to program Arduino with C++, calculate nutrient concentration, control water, and control LED. Most importantly, you will learn to leverage your knowledge and build a complete real-life project.
Why iPlanter with C++?
The Arduino language is a subset of C++. C++ is the first choice for building applications that run on limited resources, because It can directly manipulate the hardware to run on. It provides developers with a high degree of control over memory and system resources.
During the iPlanter programming process, you will learn how to identify, break down and solve a problem. You will also find the key to implementing and refining the solution.
You will be programming iPlanter, making it a fully automatic hydroponic solution. Furthermore, you can add any function on top of it, such as low nutrient solution alert.
