Wallony Planter Automation Expansion Pack
Description
These are parts to make the [Wallony planter](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1716323) a standalone self-watering garden affixed to a board, with the watering mechanism ([a 12v peristaltic pump](https://amzn.to/2RR87Sk)) hidden from view. Including: - top planter pots, with holes in the back instead of top - "sprinkler" insert - left and right drainage gutters - Y shaped tubing splitter - peristaltic pump mount for the watering system You'll need to screw the planters onto the board and drill holes behind the top and below the bottom planters. Then add a pump wired to ... wherever you want. I have it hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero running the [automated gardener script](https://github.com/HackerShackOfficial/Automated-Gardener) from [this similar project](https://www.hackster.io/hackershack/automated-indoor-gardener-a90907). The water is pumped into the sprinkler and out through the drains with 1/4 in silicone tubing into a container. I added some microfiber in the drain holes to help with directing the water and to prevent splashing. I also acetone vapored the parts and sealed all of the tube joints with hot glue to prevent leaks.
