I got an arduino, an arduino sensor shield, a solid-state relay, a set of climatological sensors, a bluetooth dongle, and an Android phone. Would it be possible to build an all-in-one agricultural management box that can be easily prototyped and deployed in the field? Or how about an entire network of them, a series of field-deployed small devices that collect data from the field, and then send the data a to a cloud server running open source agricultural record-keeping software. Then send the data to an open source permaculture simulation engine. And while we’re at it, how about adding a series of electric relays, servomotors, electric pumps and solenoid valves to manage greenhouse structures, aquaponics tanks, and irrigation systems. Could I build such a thing? Will you help me?

Hey Frank – Great to see the change of direction – I think this is an awesome project… Look forward to seeing how this progresses!
Hi;
I am electronic engineer and I am very into this and I would like to work with you about this project.
I found your site while I was searching some ideas like this.
So please contact me if you are interested then we will discuss about.
See you.
