The kit arrived in a neat package and works greater than expected. Thanks to Element14 and the members of 1 Meter of Pi design challenge coordinators for awarding me the kit. I've started building my project. Let me explain how I'll be using the kit in my project.
Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB:
The Raspberry Pi 4B is the brain of the robot. Saviour's all the control process will be handled by the raspberry pi. Also the pi will be handling all the sensor data and takes decision according to the data. The sensors includes soil moisture sensor, automation hat sensor and enviro hat sensor. Pi will be parallely processing about 2 to 3 python scripts inorder to achieve the efficient operation of the bot.
PIM487 Automation Hat Mini:
The automation hat will be used to switch the water pump in the robot on and off. The relay actuates according to the moisture content of the soil. This ensures proper irrigation of the land.
PIM486 ENVIRO Hat:
The enviro hat will be used to sense the environmental parameters like temperature, noise, light intensity etc,.
PIM300 PICO Hat Hacker:
The hacker hat will help us to attach both the hats easily to the raspberry pi.
