# Automated Plant Watering System

This Java application reads moisture levels from a sensor and controls a water pump based on those readings. It also displays the moisture level on an OLED screen and plots the data over time using `StdDraw`.

## Features

- **Moisture Sensing**: Continuously reads moisture levels from a connected sensor.

- **Water Pump Control**: Activates a water pump based on moisture levels.

- **Data Visualization**: Plots moisture levels over time using `StdDraw`.

- **OLED Display**: Shows real-time moisture levels and status messages on an OLED display.

## Requirements

- **Java**: Ensure you have Java installed on your system.

- **Libraries**:

  - **Firmata4j**: For communication with the Arduino board.

  - **StdDraw**: For plotting the moisture levels.

  - **JSSC**: For serial communication (Windows users).

- **Hardware**:

  - Arduino board

  - Moisture sensor

  - Water pump

  - OLED display

2. **Connect Hardware**:

   - Connect the moisture sensor to the analog pin (Pin 14).

   - Connect the water pump to the digital output pin (Pin 2).

   - Connect the OLED display via I2C.

3. **Configure the Port**:

   - Update the `myPort` variable in the code with the correct port name for your Arduino board (e.g., `COM3` for Windows or `/dev/ttyUSB0` for Linux).

   - Update the Hardware pins or addresses for your Arduino Circuit/Board.

## Troubleshooting

   - **Connection Issues**: Ensure the correct port is specified and that all hardware is properly connected.

   - **Library Issues**: Verify that all required libraries are included in the classpath.
