Garduino Makership Update 2: The Seeds of Change

[Zachary Ray]

Hi everyone, Zach here, this is an open update to anyone interested in Garduino, we want this to be a community project and get everyone involved! I've focused recently on setting up small plants for future uses with the realization that fall is upon us and if I want plants by Halloween I must hurry. You can't see in the image but I currently have three pots on this roof set a foot apart. Currently we are growing (and this may change):

• Peas x3 

We are still in the process of ironing out the details of the hardware. Originally we planned to have a SD card shield, however we also have a PI that can manage both storing the data and hosting the data wirelessly. The main expenses of the sensors are definatly a conistant factor however I have been on the hunt for Solineod valves because I have heard rumors of them being at the Space.

If you put a pressure regulator to drop the line pressure coming in to 10psi or so you can use much cheaper mini solenoid valves that Run great on 5v output channels. Also much easier to regulate the amount dispensed with the lower pressures.

There are some terra cotta planters on sale at meijer for 1.79 at the meijer on Preston

They are 6 in planters

There are a bunch of solenoid valves in the barbot. I plan on going a different direction with it so you can probably have them.
