A hands-on DIY electronics kit for learning and building simple automation systems.
This is not a finished product and not plug-and-play.
It’s a learning kit you assemble, understand, and then adapt to your own projects.
The Auto Watering Kit provides a complete, working hardware base for controlling water flow based on sensor input. From there, you decide how far to take it.
Everything is open, documented, and meant to be modified.
A DIY starter kit that teaches the fundamentals of:
soil moisture sensing
switching loads safely (valves, pumps)
basic power handling
simple automation logic
wiring and prototyping circuits
adapting hardware to real-world use
You build the system yourself and connect it to your own microcontroller
(Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32, Arduino, etc. — not included).
This kit is about learning by building, not using a sealed device.
Everything needed to build one small automatic watering system, packed in a reusable organizer box:
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Capacitive soil moisture sensor | Measures soil moisture level |
| 12V normally-closed solenoid valve | Controls water flow |
| Opto-isolated MOSFET module | Safely switches the valve |
| USB-C DC-DC step-up module | Power input and voltage conversion |
| FR4 prototyping PCB (6×4 cm) | Circuit assembly |
| Hookup wires (red, blue, black) | Wiring the system |
| PU tubing (10 cm) | Directs water |
| Pin headers (male & female) | Microcontroller connection |
| Flyback Diode | Clamping the inductive voltage spike when the valve is switched off. |
| Reusable Kistenberg NOR20 box | Storage and organization |
(Exact component variants may change slightly between kit revisions. Purpose of the kit will remain consistant)
