Good day, as stated in the title, me and my groupmates are planning to automate a hydroponic system, it is already built, also with a solar-powered system, but we don't have any ideas what to start with in automation, first, we looked up at the options for the microcontroller, and we are looking at the idea of picking Arduino Mega, is this a good option? Considering that we will be integrating every sensor as well as the actuators for the system?
Are there any guides or references that you can possibly provide?
A list of sensors along with its actuators would be very appreciated to have given that we are also constraint by our budget of a 1000 dollars.
Image attached is our schematic diagram of our ideal system.
Any suggestions and critics on the design is also very appreciated.
