Skins
06/30/2014 at 12:35 • 0 commentsThinking about the way to activate or desactivate the protective skins I realized that to stop the placement of those skins would be difficult because of the attachment of several sensors at the final of the rail that would make complex and less stronger the structure. Therefore, I will remove the internal skin.
Seen from an energy point of view, it will reduce the energy used by one motor, however, if the skin is closed, some energy, less than the motor would use, will be consumed by the LEDs to iluminate the plant.
At the end of the rail for the skin, I will put a buttom that will be pressed by the same skin when it arrive there (closed). It sends a signal to Arduino and it stops the motor running.

Components are coming
06/29/2014 at 22:24 • 0 commentsI bought on Internet the Arduino Uno and some of the components that arrive at the beginning July. Tomorrow or the following day, I'm going to ask a company to make me the inside methacrylate box where the plant will be housed.
While the components are on the way, I will be doing the code for Arduino. I think tomorrow I will have something on github.
