Hi,
I know nothing about electronics but know something about programming 'office' applications.
My idea of a project is to have a computer (it may be a cheap ARM board) where I can install Linux (to have network connectivity) and have it to control watering.
So, I'd need some moisture sensors like these: **broken link removed**
(or other)
and also some water faucets (with electro valves?) to water the parts that are drier.
So, if there are ten sensors and four water faucets, how can I connect all these to a computer?
I know there are professional watering systems, but would like to build my own, because of customization and also of price, as well as satisfaction for doing such a project.
