KnowURSoil is a client-side application for a plant monitoring system. It is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 and interfaces with various sensors to monitor soil conditions. The application provides features for user authentication and records environmental data to a PostgreSQL database.

• User Authentication: Secure sign-in to access the application.
• Soil Data Recording: Captures soil condition data and sends it to a database.
• Environmental Monitoring: Records temperature and humidity data.

• Raspberry Pi 4
• Color sensor with S0, S1, S2, S3, OUT pins
• DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor
• Necessary connecting wires

• Python 3.11
• Tkinter for GUI
• PostgreSQL
• Adafruit_DHT library
• RPi.GPIO library

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Quantum2511/gsc-client-side-knowURsoil.git
2. Install required packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

Connect the sensors to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins as follows:

• Color Sensor:
• S0 -> GPIO 20
• S1 -> GPIO 21
• S2 -> GPIO 22
• S3 -> GPIO 23
• OUT -> GPIO 24
• DHT11 Sensor: Connect the data pin to GPIO 4 (D4)

1. PostgreSQL server is setup on neon-tech
2. Connection string is stored in .env file

Run the application using Python: python3.11 gsc-client-side-soilReader.py

Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in and use the application.

• gsc-client-side-soilReader.py: Main Python script for reading soil sensor data.
• .env: Environment variables for database configuration.
• requirements.txt: Lists all Python dependencies.
