Dan is there anyway that we can contribute to the project? I know that you guys are working to actively move forward, yet there still might be people who are interested in contributing?
Personally I'm going to go out and build a modified version of this to see if I can get it to grow a decent variety of plants for my family through the winter in my garage.
- dhgood2 11y agoWe are absolutely interested in contribution! We are still setting up the infrastructure but our hope is that people building our V1 system or systems inspired by the V1 will share information and advice. Additionally, if there is something about our HW or SW that you don't like, create a mod, document it and share it with the community. If you were to build your own version, it would be great if you documented the process including material dimensions, fasting techniques, different sensors or electronics, as well as successes or failures in trying to grow something. We have software that allows you to control sensors and actuators with a raspberry pi and Arduino mega. Once some or all the electronics are hooked up, the box you put it in is really up to you. Future versions will try to standardize how we attach things, but for right now my impression is that you want to get up and running ASAP. So far, the people building our V1 chat with each other in a Slack group. So we can add you to that one if/when you are ready to start building something.
