Verizon spent millions of dollars on this ad campaign, considering it ran numerous times during the NFL Playoffs and the Superbowl. Agduino is a huge growth industry, but who will control the destiny of information intensive agriculture? Corporate America, or … Continue reading
The title here is not to suggest that Apitronics is inferior to the ManyLabs/SODAQ stack. Apitronics is built around the Beagle Bone Black, which was featured in a previous post about Agduino. Apitronics doesn’t use Postgresql, instead the system uses … Continue reading
So, after much searching and discussion, I think I’ve discovered some of the top candidates on which agduino could be built. I will share these in a series of posts over the next few days or so, starting with the … Continue reading
I am finally getting some sensor data on my android handset via bluetooth. I will post some links soon to share hardware-software details. … Continue reading
Through lot’s of different conversations with people, I have started to put together a set of links that tracks some of the hardware/software stacks that are likely great candidates to work with agduino. Most of us working in the area … Continue reading
I’ve built a G+ community for people to interact specifically about topics related to arduino for agriculture. If you are interested in this topic, please join. There is a lot of potential to have some great interactions. G+ may or … Continue reading
Another arduino for aquaponics prototype. The economics of this remains of great interest. Sure the prototypes are expensive; there is a lot of development work going into it. But if the model is open source, development costs should go down exponentially once the platform matures.
Continue readingThis video is an excellent primer on the state of arduino and agriculture. Clearly still a lot of development work to do, but amazing potential to scale the impact of a single individual or small team. … Continue reading
I’ve talked to a few folks in the arduino for agriculture space over the past few days or so. There is a lot going in the arena, and after having looked at just some of what’s happening, it is absolutely … Continue reading
@Indi_food asked me the following question: Just imagine the gains if flood irrigation changed to drip feeding that only initiated when soil moisture reached xx and evaporation levels went below xx. Is this the kind of thing that arduino can … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
