TOUCH SENSITIVE ARDUINO PLANT

in this tutorial, I am showing how to build a touch sensing plant using Arduino
that is when you touch the plant  the colour changes
first 
watch this video

things needed

• Arduino (I am using Arduino UNO)https://amzn.to/2K16VGu
• 1 megaohm resistor
• 3*LEDs( chosen your colours)

circuit diagram

I made  circuit diagram using fritzing software

connections

first, connect 1 megaohm resistor between  pin 2 and 4 of Arduino

 then attach the touch line  to pin 4 also connect the other end to your plant

now connect 3 LEDs(different colours) to pin5,6,7

if you are using RGB LED  then connect the common ground to ground  and connect other pins to Arduino digital pin 5,6,7

this project works based on the change in capacitance so we are using capacitivesensor.h library

download library from here

download Arduino code from here

connect Arduino and plant  with some good conducting wire like copper and also use  good plants  I mean water-rich plants like magic bamboo, water Lilly etc
