Water Lines, moisture sensor, and added functionality to the servo code.

Did some tweaking of the water lines earlier today and added a higher flow rate dripper to one side. I'm not sure if it's ideal to have multiple drippers for each of the small plants as one of the pots seems a little dry. The flow rate didn't seem work too well but we'll see....this is what the data collection is for anyway, right?


Servo code update

Did a bit more work on the test setup and added a button press action triggered with an int. This only works if the plant isn't currently watering something, but then again, that's the whole point. I also updated the code to use functions instead of the crazy block setup I had. I'm looking at potential integration issues that I may run into, but so far, all looks good. I'll work on the update to the tx/rx code tomorrow. Once that has been tested and verified, I'll move onto the integration of the servo code either tomorrow or Friday. Once that is complete, I'll be able to start collecting data on the setup and see if there are any major issues. So far so good for the plan to have it up and running by the weekend.
