Design of a Low-Cost Aeroponic Plant Growth Chamber

Final Report
Project Poster
For the end project we will have two aeroponics chambers. These chambers will be able to keep
a consistent temperature, CO2 level, humidity level, and atmospheric pressure. There will also
be the ability to have an audible tone played and a light turned on and off. All of these can then
be user defined. The user will be able to log onto a web server in order to change the settings of
any given chamber. The specific chamber will then have its status changed via a Bluetooth link
to the web server.
