Here's my progress: | | https://bartlomiejmika.com/post/2021/red-mulberry-growlog-2/ | | And here are the open source libraries I've written to support | it: | | - https://github.com/bartmika/sparkfunweathershield-arduino - | https://github.com/bartmika/tstorage-server - | https://github.com/bartmika/tpoller-server | https://github.com/bartmika/treader-server - more to come... | | I hope to submit in the future! | na85 wrote: | I love stuff like this. I recently[0] put some raspberry pis and | beaglebones to work monitoring my plants (though my own solution | is not as smooth as this, and I didn't opt for photo capability). | | My robogardeners alert me via push notification on my phone when | e.g. my basil needs watering, and I can issue them commands to | set water/dryness thresholds via IRC. | | [0] https://0x85.org/raspi.html | civildude wrote: | is a raspberry zero? | alexellisuk wrote: | We have 28 people participating now, with live-previews, lots of | Twitter activity and prizes to give away for folks who complete | the various parts of the challenge. | | The code is open source and includes a data logger and Grafana | dashboard that's fun to use even if you are not growing things. | iancmceachern wrote: | My wife and I founded Open Agriculture Supply | (www.openagriculturesupply.com) years ago to support the mit | open agriculture initiative that ultimately fizzled out.

The | GitHub README that this links to gives a much better | introduction to this project than the previously linked website | [0] does (in terms of quickly understanding what it is). | | Plus it looks like a really great project. | | [0] https://growlab.dev | throwaway744678 wrote: | As a non-native english speaker, I first confused the title | with the expression "grow a pair". I wondered how a Pi would | help in that case. | knicholes wrote: | Maybe it could monitor testosterone levels and inject you | with some when low. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-07-25 23:01 UTC)
