New Guy. Southern Utah

Hello online world. Name is Matt and I am brand new to this whole thing, I am paramedic in Southern Utah. I got interested in electrical engineering, guess I could say I've always been interested, by watching YouTube and wanting to build some senors for my garden. Hoping to use this site as a resource during this adventure. That's all i have for now. Feel free to message me.

    Welcome to the community.

    What sort of sensors are you looking to build? What are they going to control?

    I guess you have come to the right place to get answers.

    Look forward to hearing more from you.

     

    Cheers

    Warren.

    WarrenW Right now just trying to keep it simple: temperature, humidity, light, soil moisture. Eventually I would like to have it control watering, and motors that rise/lower green house plastic and or shade clothes as needed. Goal is to keep it simple right now

    What level of coding, electronics interfacing are you comfortable with.

    You could try an Arduino or Raspberry Pi which are both excellent learning tools. Economical too.

    Awesome choice - so much info out there for them and great community support here as well.

    I am no pro coder but I am currently working on interfacing some existing displays for sports events into a remote control (all arduino based) with LCD displays etc.

    You may want to checkout the local Element14 dedicated page if you have not already. Arduino
