The way in (kit) does not provide power cord(s). Needed.
Also NOT TECHNICAL… I NEED PICTURE OR SHORT SLOW VIDEO SHOWING ALL WIRING CONNECTED AS A TUTORIAL/VERFY I AM CORRECT.

BELOW IS WAYIN KIT FOR SALE ON AMAZON. WITH MISSING POWER CORD(S). HELP ME FIND ALL REQUIRED POWER CORDS. CHINESE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND MY ISSUE.

When I run the code on my rpi, I get these errors with the ADS1115 library:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The document has the following conditional for the control of the water pumps:

if (value>550)
    digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);
}
else
{
    digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH);
}

This will turn on the pump if the value from the moisture sensor goes below 550. However, when reading values from the moisture sensor, it appears that lower values are more moist, e.g. the ambient air has a reading of 573 and water a reading of 264. If this is correct, the conditional should be reversed, where a lower values turns on the pump and higher value shuts it off.
