The Science Behind It

Circuit of Naturhythms
Naturhythms on a plant

The project involves using the electrical conductivity of the plant to generate signals, which can then be converted into musical notes. The Arduino Nano reads the changes in resistance from the plant, processes the data, and translates it into MIDI notes or audio signals, which are then played through an audio amplifier.

1

The Electrodes

The electrodes measure the electrical resistance in the plant, which varies based on the plant's biofeedback.

2

The Arduino

The Arduino reads this analog signal and maps it to a frequency range that humans can hear.

3

The Frequency

The mapped frequency is played using the tone() function, which generates a square wave.

4

The SD Card

The SD card can be used to store various audio samples or notes, which you can play back using the TMRpcm library if you want more complex sounds.
