- put the ATmega on the refarm board

- on arduino app select > tools/board/arduino pro or pro mini 8mhz

- test sending some code with the refarm on the sofa board


STEP 2 feed the board with energy

this board in prepared to work with 12V or 5V it only depends on what watering system you use.

be careful on using 12v car batteries. they have Pb :(

since this is a low budget project you can try to get one old computer power supply.

connect the yellow to +12v, the black to -12v and -5v and the red to the +5v.
