Answer

Pseudo Code for Soil Sensor Monitoring

Overview

This pseudo code outlines the logic for monitoring soil moisture using a soil sensor and managing output based on moisture levels. The code initializes the sensor and manages three output pins based on the readings from the sensor.

Variables

soil_sensor: Integer variable that stores the reading from the soil sensor.

Setup Function

Configure the sensor pin as an input.
Initialize serial communication for debugging.
Configure three output pins for control.

Main Loop

Continuously read data from the soil sensor.
Print the sensor value to the serial monitor.
Check the sensor reading against a threshold:
- If the reading is below 100, turn on two outputs and turn off the third.
- If the reading is 100 or above, turn off the first two outputs and turn on the third.
Add a small delay to enhance performance.

Pseudo Code

DECLARE soil_sensor AS INTEGER
INITIALIZE soil_sensor TO 0

FUNCTION setup():
    SET pin A0 AS INPUT
    INITIALIZE Serial communication at 9600 baud rate
    SET pin 7 as OUTPUT
    SET pin 8 as OUTPUT
    SET pin 9 as OUTPUT

FUNCTION loop():
    WHILE true DO:
        soil_sensor = READ analog value from pin A0
        PRINT soil_sensor to Serial monitor
        
        IF soil_sensor < 100 THEN:
            SET pin 7 to HIGH
            SET pin 8 to HIGH
            SET pin 9 to LOW
        ELSE:
            SET pin 7 to LOW
            SET pin 8 to LOW
            SET pin 9 to HIGH
            
        DELAY for 10 milliseconds // To improve simulation performance

Explanation of Logic

The setup function initializes the necessary configurations for the pins and prepares the system for operation.
The loop function runs continuously, monitoring the soil moisture levels. Depending on the moisture content, it activates or deactivates specific output pins, thus allowing control (e.g., triggering alerts or activating irrigation systems) based on the sensor's data.

Conclusion

This pseudo code provides a clear and structured approach to implementing soil moisture monitoring using sensor readings and outputs. It serves as documentation for understanding the logic behind the original code implementation.
