markswift, yes you can! go to my github and you can download the source to the web portion of the system. It will be very easy to integrate a web interface to this.
I recently made a custom PCB for the Plant Friends sensor nodes. The layout is based on the protoboard layout. The Moteino sits in the socket. http://dicksonchow.com/projects/plantfriends2/sensornode_pcb_3.jpg I'm planning to deploy a bunch of sensor nodes for my other plants and making my own custo...
Thanks hobbybob! I submitted the project to the hackaday contest.
I'll submit to more contests when I find them. Yes, a fully integrated pot is an awesome idea. I just need to make some time to start on that.
@tangent Thank you for the code! Going to play with the new Moteinos this weekend and your code will come in handy. I too have problems with my breadboards. The connections on the breadboard gets loose over time and just gets in the way of fun time. :) As for the mobile app, I wrote it in Processing...
@fruitloaf Thats pretty awesome! Have you consider putting your project on http://hackaday.io/ ? Better yet, enter it into the space contest too! http://hackaday.io/prize You can get your laser cutting done at Ponoko: https://www.ponoko.com/ If you need enclosures for your project, you can use my Pl...
Thank you fruitloaf! I haven't abandon the original characters and they are going to make comeback soon. I am happy to report the robot is coming along with massive improvements. No glue will be required and everything snaps together! But the story on on the change is this; The original Plant Friend...
@romoe Sorry to hear about your tomato plants! Its been awhile since I last posted but I come back with good news! During the midst of cleaning up my code for release, I ended up re-designing and re-writing everything including the Android app. The Plant Friends system is now expandable, adaptable a...
Thanks Romoe. Yes, I'll be posting all my source code soon. I'm in the processing of commenting/cleaning up the code so others will be able to adapt it / learn from it easily. I'm also going to do a how-to write up on setting up a system like Plant Friends, using a Moteino (or Arduino clone) and a R...
I do have an idea for a system that integrates everything into a flower pot but I'm reserving that for my next project.
I've been playing with solar panels and LiPo charging lately and it is definitely doable and yea and each node can totally be expanded to monitor multiple plants.
Hello there, I've been a long time lurker in these forums reading through all the wonderful projects and tips that the Raspberry Pi community has shared. Now its time for me to share a project I finished not too long ago. Plant Friends is a soil moisture/temperature/humidity sensor system for indoor...
