+=== First Experiments ===
+In the beginning of our semester, we were given some seeds to be grown at home. This was our first experiments for this class. I was growing Chia seeds (and also apple seeds that didn't really grow into anything) on a piece of cotton and inside a plastic bag. I have not done this since school time, so it was interesting and fun. During our first experiments in growing seeds, we documented our plants' progress. I documented it in form of pictures and diary entries.
+//add pics + examples of diary entries
+=== Motivation ===
+After attending a few sessions of this class, I started brainstorming what could my topic of interest be. Honestly it was a bit confusing and challenging to try combining/connecting plants and electronics somehow. Before this bubble machine idea came up, I had some more ideas and sketched them in my notebook. In the end, I was interested in the respiration process of my plants and decided to make a bubble machine which can visualize the respiration process/cycle of my plants.

-== Motivation ==
 Are my plants breathing? They seem fine, their leaves are green... but are they really okay? To observe my houseplants' respiration, a prototype of soap bubble maker machine is being developed. The quantity of soap bubbles will be in accordance to the CO<sub>2</sub> level of the plants' (closed) environment, divided into three categories: Low, Medium and High CO<small>2</small> level.

+=== First Prototype ===
-Idea: assign CO<sub>2</sub> value into 3 categories; '''Low, Medium, High''' and adjust the stepper motor speed based on the category.<syntaxhighlight lang="arduino">
+first prototype
-  DEFINE constants for CO2 thresholds:
-    LOW_MEDIUM_THRESHOLD = 500 //to be determined via trials
+=== Final Prototype (Winterwerkschau) ===
-    MEDIUM_HIGH_THRESHOLD = 700 //to be determined via trials
+final prototype
-  DEFINE speed settings for each category:

-    LOW_SPEED = 400      // Steps per second

-    MEDIUM_SPEED = 800   // Steps per second
-    HIGH_SPEED = 1200    // Steps per second
+=== Code ===
-  INITIALIZE variable currentCategory to -1
-  INITIALIZE variable lastCategory to -1
-  FUNCTION setup():
-    BEGIN
-      SET maximum speed for stepper motor (e.g., 1200 steps/sec)
-      SET acceleration for smoother operation (e.g., 500 steps/sec^2)
-      START serial communication for debugging
-    END
-  FUNCTION loop():
+=== Self-reflection ===
-    BEGIN
-      READ CO2 value from the sensor (variable CO2)
-      DETERMINE currentCategory:
-        IF CO2 < LOW_MEDIUM_THRESHOLD:
-          SET currentCategory to LOW
-        ELSE IF CO2 < MEDIUM_HIGH_THRESHOLD:
-          SET currentCategory to MEDIUM
-        ELSE:
-          SET currentCategory to HIGH
-      IF currentCategory is different from lastCategory:
-        BEGIN
-          SWITCH currentCategory:
-            CASE LOW:
-              SET stepper motor speed to LOW_SPEED
-            CASE MEDIUM:
-              SET stepper motor speed to MEDIUM_SPEED
-            CASE HIGH:
-              SET stepper motor speed to HIGH_SPEED
-          UPDATE lastCategory to currentCategory

-        END
-      RUN stepper motor at the current speed (use AccelStepper's runSpeed() function)

-</syntaxhighlight>Idea to determine thresholds: run trials on plants enclosed environment.<syntaxhighlight lang="arduino">
-  DEFINE variables:
-    minCO2 = Infinity     // Initialize to a very high value
-    maxCO2 = -Infinity    // Initialize to a very low value
-    startTime = CURRENT_TIME
-    trialDuration = 30 minutes (in milliseconds, e.g., 30 * 60 * 1000)
-  FUNCTION setup():
-    BEGIN
-      INITIALIZE serial communication for debugging

-          READ current CO2 value from sensor (variable currentCO2)

-          IF currentCO2 > maxCO2:
-            UPDATE maxCO2 to currentCO2
-          PRINT currentCO2, minCO2, and maxCO2 to serial monitor
-          WAIT for 1 second //reduce sampling frequency

-      PRINT "Trial Complete."
-      PRINT minCO2 and maxCO2 to serial monitor
-      CALCULATE range = maxCO2 - minCO2
-      CALCULATE lowMediumThreshold = minCO2 + (range / 3)
-      CALCULATE mediumHighThreshold = minCO2 + (2 * range / 3)
-      PRINT "Thresholds:"
-      PRINT "Low-Medium Threshold: " + lowMediumThreshold
