OK some busy (non hacking) summer months have passed but I have not stopped this project.

Quick update:

• Won a stick vise Thanks Hackaday!
• Did not make the next round hackaday price 2015 :( but should get a t-shirt :)
• The peristaltic pump started leaking, so I had to take it offline. The part of a small container make little mess was correct :)

So new ideas are: using the esp8266, Chirp sensor and a ds18b20 and start logging the data. For this I am using thingspeak My Channel for now I just have the temperature sensor. Later I will add the chirp and start measuring.

Also I am looking for a better way to pump the water. The container should still be a wine bottle. Just looking for a better way to pump water. It should make as little noise as possible. With the esp8266 it will also be possible to run it at night.

Also I have some ideas about scaling this up (see previous post). I am very pleased on how the hydroponics worked this summer. So the next month I will also research a bit more on running a hydroponics setup, indoors in the winter. So I will need some lights, logging of variables .....

So I will try to update this project a bit more the next few weeks.
