The first version of this project is done! Continuation of the work found: here This page is a “project page” that contains every bit of work I’ve done leading toward this final post. EDIT: Update 1 – Transplanting Plants: I move the plants from the grid to pots. Update 2 – System overhaul: Update the…

New Version The Post Below Is Out Of Date Click Here For The New Version This post is many months in the making and I am very proud of the thing’s I’ve done here, and very thankful to all of those (specifically at www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi) who have helped me along my way to getting this project up…
Continue reading →Last night I finished the majority of the software for this project. Here’s a video of me going over what happened and what the program does in simpler terms: Essentially, every hour, the raspberry pi samples data from 4 humidity probes, an LDR and a tmp sensor. Once the sampling is complete, it dumps the…

So as I said in one of my previous posts, I am going to be collecting a lot of data over the next few weeks while the tomato plants grow. I will be doing this to determine when soil is “dry” and how temperature and light effect that process. For the last week I have…

Long time viewers will remember when this idea was conceived two Novembers ago, but essentially it’s a way to detect the relative moisture of a substance. The principal is the same as in the above post, but this time, I made it bigger and attached it to a Raspberry Pi. The reason this is essential, is because I recently purchased a 12v DC pump capable of…

Time to get this data we’re harvesting graphed. In a couple past posts, I’ve used pChart to graph random data but now since data is getting dumped into a mysql chart, it would make sense to try and graph that data. To install pChart on my system (same installs as listed in this post) to…

I had to re-image the SD card I’ve been developing this project on, but I saved to code so there’s no problem there. Now I need to re-install all the basic packages. First I need to get…

I’m taking a “break” from my drone while I save some money to buy more tricopter parts, and since the weather’s getting nicer and nicer I’ve decided to start working on my PiPlanter again. As a refresher, the PiPlanter is a Raspberry Pi powered garden. The goal is for it to just be able to…

Once the user accesses the php script, a table, containing all of the values, is rendered. First of all, you’ll need to make a mysql table with the correct specifications: CREATE…
