Thumbnail. Micro:bit and a float switch are present, symbolizing a low-water alarm project. A red bell icon with alarm waves is positioned next to the micro:bit. Below the float switch are two blue water drops and a prominent red downward arrow, signifying a drop in water level and an alert.

Low-Water Alarm for Hydroponics

Set up an alarm to detect when water levels are low using the Smart Hydroponics Kit.

Thumbnail. The peristaltic pump is present with a large circular arrow looping around it. This symbolizes a water recirculation system. The pump and arrow are overlaid on a background image of a hydroponic lettuce growing setup.

Water Recirculation for Hydroponics

Circulate water to keep plant nutrients healthy with the Smart Hydroponics Kit.

Thumbnail. Hydroponic lettuce setup with an overhead LED grow light. The light is connected to a white PCB board, which is controlling the power to the light. The image illustrates a tutorial on how to connect and automate an LED light.
