What would an office desk plant say if it could speak? What if it could sing??
We made a custom circuit board using a breadboard and an Arduino UNO. This transformed my humble bit of greenery into a touch-sensitive noise-maker. But this is just the start. Next up: variable sounds and twitter capabilities. Stay tuned...
Calibrating the touch sensitivity.

The sensor is in the soil. Which makes this leaf-sensing plant even neater than before.
