A 3D modelling class was hosted by Prof. Han Yang For us to become familiar with the interface and different tools available for us to model the parts necessary to create our prototype . We were able to create very basic shape and send a small, very blocky capybara for printing. We also consulted Prof. Han yang regarding our idea of the ‘all-in-one soil sensor’ and was disheartened to find out that it is extremely challenging and unsuitable for the 3 months project period we were given. Some things that we failed to take into consideration include
1) How will electricity be supplied to each individual sensor that will be dispersed over multiple plot of farms (Have its own electricity supply?)
2) How will information of soil health collected by the soil sensor be transferred for viewing (wifi?)
