Concept/iDea:

The General idea, which came was using the newly popular and inexpensive use of FPGA in our daily lives. One of them was gardening, as everyone, wants their houses to be smart so why not backyards and parks. So with the newly "Arduino" FPGA board came, I was super excited, hoping it would make my new interest of FPGAs easy. This is the basic plan: Make an Internet-connected device, which takes inputs through its FPGAs, and use FPGA to use HDMI to print the data on a TV or monitor screen in your house. (Although you don't need to run an HDMI cable, to your house, to run it, this just demonstrates FPGA capabilities). The BME280 sensor and Soil Moisture Sensor will be sued to collect some data. If the Soil Moisture is low, then a pump/motor/solenoid will turn on.

Hardware Required:

• MKR Vidor 4000 // Main MCU with FPGA
• Ethernet Shield // if and only if you want an ethernet connection from to the router
• BME280 // i2c sensor to detect temperature, humidity and air pressure
• MKR Connector Carrier // for less dirty wiring // and power management
• LiPo Battery or PowerBank // for Power
• MOSFET //for motor
• A pump/motor/solenoid

Software to be used:

• Arduino IDE // for programming //web editor //or offline
• Blynk //for server communication (you need to manually install the latest release v0.5.4 for compatibility)
