Hardware Setup

For this project I used a raspberry pi 3b. However, any pi should work the same. I used a Sainsmart 8 channel relay, with the intention that at some point i could easily expand the number of valves simply by creating another instance of the PiPonics object inside of piponics.py.Connect the relay to the gpio headers using physical pin numbering as follows;

Growbed	Power	Valve One	Valve Two	Pump	Ground
Relay	VCC	in1	in2	in3	GND
GPIO	5v	36	38	40	GND
