Using Arduino, RaspberyPi, and Google sheets to create an automated sustainable homestead. Projects to keep chickens fed watered and secured, aid in succesful Trout fishing, irrigate gardens and planters, maintain heating and cooling of polyhouses and greenhouses, and to build and run CNC and 3d printer machines.
to share my experiences and ideas using arduino, raspberry pi, Google sheetes with app script, and basic physics to automate chores around the house and at work so that I can live a more streamlined and efficient life. I have been recently thinking about how to maintain a smaller footprint and am realizing that the more sustainable and self sufficient we are in sourcing food and building our own local comunities the better stewards we are to our ecosystems that we rely on. The first project that I am putting on the site is an irrigation system to water plants on front porch. While this was originally a project to help me with chores that I would neglect it taught me and helped me realize that I can use arduino to do chores for me, I can control water for any reason with arduino, and started me on the path I am on. I will show you my old version of the project and then work through recent developments and modifications that now lets me irrigate an entire garden or greenhouse, giving different types of plants the apropriate amounts of water at the correct times, all with just one arduino.
made for trout fishing. Have had this posted to my Thingiverse account for several years but a nice weather bouy that will get on wifi and send data through thingspeak to my phone so I can mark the exact conditions when we catch fish so that we know what stratagies to use when.
