 The following diagram Figure 1 shows the overall layout of our project:
+the system uses LIDAR sensors for distance measurements, processes the data with an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 microcontroller, and communicates the results to a personal computer and other components.
+  * **VLX53L0X (LIDAR Sensors):**
+Horizontal Distance Input: One VLX53L0X sensor measures horizontal distance.
+Vertical Distance Input: Another VLX53L0X sensor measures vertical distance.
+  * **ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 (Arduino):**
+Receives distance readings from both VLX53L0X sensors (horizontal and vertical distance).
+Processes these readings and performs various tasks based on the data.
+  * **LED Light/Actuator:**
+Connected to the Arduino.
+Can be turned on or off based on commands from the Arduino.
+  * **Battery/Charger:**
+Powers the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1.
+  * **MQTT Server:**
+Receives processed readings (distance data and actuator state) from the Arduino.
+Sends actuator control commands (like "On" or "Off") to the Arduino.
+  * **Personal Computer with Jupyter Notebooks:**
+Communicates with the MQTT server to receive the distance readings and actuator state.
+control commands to the MQTT server, which then relays them to the Arduino.

-==== Enhancing the If-Condition for Better Plant Recognition ====
-To enhance the condition for recognizing plants more accurately, we need to implement peak detection logic and replace the older one; to ensure only true plants are detected. This approach reduces the likelihood of false positives caused by objects with heights above 120 mm even as mentioned earlier and help creating an automated system that keeps track of the plants.

 Multiplexers most probably will be used for connecting with the multiple number of nozzles for our system e.g. irrigating 30 rows at the same time. Each of which will have at least a single sensor, and a water nozzle. 30 controlling MOSFETS hence may be connected to our microcontroller plus the 30 sensors.
-Further studies are going to be done on the rush in current in case large nozzles will be used .. and 30 of those will mean multiple of that rush in current, in case a smooth start is needed to be done to ease that rush in current PWM may be required.
