The document provides an updated code for a plant watering system that displays soil moisture levels as a percentage on an LCD. It calculates the moisture percentage by mapping analog readings to a scale of 100% to 0% and updates the display every 2 seconds. The system also indicates whether the soil is dry or wet and activates a water pump when the soil is dry.

To enhance the previous code by displaying the percentage of moisture on

the LCD, we can modify it to calculate and show the moisture level as a
percentage. Here's the updated code: ```cpp #include // Initialize the LCD
(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7) LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2); // Pin definitions
const int moistureSensorPin = A0; // Soil moisture sensor pin const int
pumpPin = 9; // Water pump pin // Threshold for wet soil const int
moistureThreshold = 600; // Adjust this value based on your sensor void
setup() { lcd.begin(16, 2); // Set up the LCD’s number of columns and rows
pinMode(pumpPin, OUTPUT); // Set the pump pin as an output
digitalWrite(pumpPin, LOW); // Ensure the pump is off initially lcd.print(“Plant
Watering Sys”); // Display initial message delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds
lcd.clear(); // Clear the display } void loop() { int moistureLevel =
analogRead(moistureSensorPin); // Read the moisture level int
moisturePercentage = map(moistureLevel, 0, 1023, 100, 0); // Map to
percentage lcd.setCursor(0, 0); // Set cursor to the first line if (moistureLevel
< moistureThreshold) { lcd.print(“Soil: Dry “); // Display dry message
waterPlant(); // Water the plant } else { lcd.print(“Soil: Wet “); // Display wet
message } lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // Set cursor to the second line
lcd.print(“Moisture: “); // Display moisture label
lcd.print(moisturePercentage); // Display moisture percentage lcd.print(“% “);
// Print percentage with padding delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds before the
next reading } void waterPlant() { lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // Set cursor to the
second line lcd.print(“Watering… “); // Display watering message
digitalWrite(pumpPin, HIGH); // Turn on the pump delay(5000); // Water for 5
seconds (adjust as needed) digitalWrite(pumpPin, LOW); // Turn off the pump
lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // Set cursor to the second line lcd.print(“Done watering
“); // Indicate done watering } ``` In this updated code, the
`moisturePercentage` variable calculates the moisture level as a percentage
by mapping the analog reading (0 to 1023) to a percentage scale (100% to
0%). The LCD then displays this percentage on the second line, along with a
label for clarity. The moisture value is refreshed every 2 seconds, along with
the watering status.
