Challengers!

 

It is time to Grow Up! Observations and forecasts from leading publications point to the need to increase our ability to grow fresh food in urban areas – closer to the populations that will consume them.  This means shifting from traditional outdoor gardens to indoor systems for food production.  Electronic Engineers are uniquely suited to provide systems based on a technology infrastructure that can lessen required energy consumption in production and improve the output of a smaller space.

 

To get you started on your challenge journey we have a base-kit that you can work with and from. How you put these into practice is entirely up to you. This is a good collection of equipment for you to sink your soldering iron into, feel free to hack away, apart or together any component as you see fit.

    I have updated this page with the correct SKU list and supporting documentation on the Sensor Puck and the EZR32WG 898MHz Wireless Sensor Kit.

    Hi guys

     

    due to the high demand for our switches, we currently face a shortage on some of these components. As half a kit looks kind of silly, we decided to leave them out of the bundle.

     

    However, please feel free to contact me (simon.leuz@we-online.de) for any samples on switches or anything else you need for your vertical farm.

    Here is an overview of our switches.

     

    You get an overview of our complete portfolio here.

     

    I am more than willing to support.

     

     

    Regards

    Simon

    Yep, we have been working on getting the same seeds distributed to you all so all things can be equal. I have a few questions out to clarify before sharing all of the details. I just wanted to make sure I had all the most accurate information at once. No need to build anticipation thought... It will be a type of lettuce, they will be shipped to you. More details to come.

    Hi Rick and Michael,

     

    I suspect the capacitors will be more useful for the challenge since the caps and inductors will be essential for designing buck/boost converters (for example) for all your power and LED driving needs.
