Project Description & Goals:
The project focuses on very precise measurement of changes in plant temperature in the order of 0.01 degrees Celsius, the highest resolution sensor devised. The goal of the project is to be able to measure changes in temperature of one plant while another is being stressed in order to study plant communication. The temperature sensor should be able to expand multiple leaves of the plant, with the possibility wireless technology being implemented to track data.

Technologies: MSP430, Raspberry Pi, Electrical Lab Equipment (Power Supply, Function Generator, etc.)
