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.

    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…

    If a different frequency of kit is required, please indicate so in your application.

    Are the LEDs simple standard red, green , blue types or is there something there to provide required lighting for the plants to grow?

    Of coarse, many fear the anti Christ will want to control food and may fear this technolog. by not growing food and replicating it, it could cause control issue. But for me and my house, we only fear the Lord, not the world hahaha.

    Thanks Mark! That's exactly what I needed.

     

    From what I read, it looks like we would need to use simplicity studio and C to build the firmware for it. Sounds like they include lots of sample code though, which is good because the blink example they show in the video is already looking fairly complicated!

    I found this in response to a question on their site.

    http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN888_EZR32_Simple_TRX_App_QuickStart.pdf

     

    It seems the uk site is carrying 18 of this one.

    The datasheet is on the farnell/element14 site http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1903345.pdf

    or at Silicon Labs

    Plastic is made from starches, food... When sintering it, we are just changing its shape and color. We are so close to being able to do it on an atomic and microscopic level which will allow alterations of its ingredients and flavors.
