Ok, now it is kind of proven that binary CPLD (or FPGA) may implement ternary logic, but how we can integrate it with "true" ternary components, especially when CPLD is 3.3V and TRIMUXes are -5V and +5V? Answer is DG403 chips may do the job: Because...
This Blog will Cover How to build a cheap EC meter for your aquaponics/Hydroponics or water quality related projects. We are not going to get into what the ideal value of PPM or EC is, Just cover how to measure and quantify a fluid.We will be using this...
Detecting and identifying a card As stated in an earlier log, the card insertion is detected by grounding the pin *CD. But this is not enough to make the scope believe he have a know card inside him. You need to indicate him what type of card was inserted....
An article recently published on MOONGIFT, a Japanese developer site, has showcased RasDash! The article is entirely in Japanese and Google Translate won't accept the URL as it has special characters but YANDEX does. Below are some links and a basic...
This Blog is about making a nutrient dosing system for hydroponics that is plug and play, I didnt quite get it to the full stage of plug and play with this version. But it is almost there. Because the change of nutrient strength of our systems can be...
Initially I thought the data stream from the camera board to the quadcopter controller was PPM. This signal is only active when the app is running and the on-screen controls are brought up. The quadcopter has to be power-cycled in order to be controlled...
Dyson V6 Setup and Running System Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners utilize high RPM brushless DC motors. Specifications indicate that some models can reach as high as 125000 RPM. I’ve disassembled DC56(V2), V6, and V10 models. Each has a brushless single-phase...
Below is a picture of a patch that gates the input to the ADC so that it is only looking at the value from the EC probe at the end of the square wave pulse, after the initial transient has settled out. It works really well, dutifully recording the voltage...
An unexpected cold shower made it clear that I need a new controller for our solar warm water heating system ("split architecture" which is typical for installation in middle and northern Europe - thanks @Saabman for helping me understand that I had...
The new tower and the pcb are being tested for 2 weeks now. Everything is working great. On the picture you can see a 3 weeks old basil plant, with 2 weeks in the tower. You can also see the fog coming out of the tower. The roots are growing and are...

I have been growing leafy greens using Hydroponics for the last 3 years. I was tiered checking out for the nutrient levels and pH level of the nutrient water solution, so I decided to make a nutrient feeding unit to maintain the optimal nutrient level...
At the OHSummit, I was joined by Amber Cunningham, community manager of Tindie. While Hackaday and Tindie have the same overlords ruling over them, we can't really have Amber going around with a Hackaday logo on her badge, can we?...So I spent 15 minutes...
EC is the abbreviation for Electro Conductivity. It is used to determine the nutrient concentration of the solution. This factor is essential to optimize the soilless culture. Indeed, the nutrient concentration will not be the same for a seeding as for...
