Plant Observation Device
Research Mentor(s)
Clauson, Aran
Description
The P.O.D. Project is responsible for automating the experiment by accumulating data without the need for constant manual monitoring. Current procedures require adding water and recording data by hand frequently, and simply do not allow for the degree of control over lighting that is desired. This software and hardware solution will streamline the experimental process for the WWU biology department. The instruments used will be controlled by a computer which will automatically regulate light and water delivery. It will simultaneously record data from multiple sensors including light, temperature, and a camera unit. This will cut down on measurement and maintenance time as well as increase the accessibility to new experimenters.
