Final Design
Since we got very good feedback on our final prototype. We decided to stick to that design and get more user feedback on it. The different views of the product has been shown below:

Improving Final Prototype using User Feedback
After getting user feedback on the prototype, we gain some few insights on the downsides of the prototype and ways we can make it better. One of the updates mentioned by the user was the addition of a user manual. The team took this feedback into consideration and worked on a user manual which farmers can use as a guide to control water conditions in the ponds when they start to fluctuate. The user manual can be found below.
Test Results
To test the device, we used an online simulation tool called tinkercad. Using this software, we were able to test how the device records the data, and how it transmits it.
Accuracy and precision: The values were precise and accurate.
Data transmission: Even though we weren't able to check how the device can send data over WIFI, we were able to do serial communication and that worked. So we checked off the data transmission box.
We also tested how convenient and user-friendly our web application is. To do this, we sent snapshots of the page to the user and the feedback was positive.
Feedback from faculty
It would be great to make the sensors distinguishable in the design.
The design does not fully show the electrical subsystem of the package.
It would be great to improve the UI of the web page to make it more appealing.
Great work on the user manual.
Feedback of the user
The user was happy about the fact that we added a user manual as suggested. The user also said that the user manual can be made better by elaborating more on the measures to take to control the water conditions.
The user also added that, designing and customizing the user manual would make it more appealing to the users.
