<p>Just a little update... this project has not progressed. I have decided to shelve it indefinitely. I hope someday someone will get something going on Kickstarter for the aquaponics community specifically. What I had been working towards was very modular and expandable, and wireless, these are certainly elements needed for a system such as this.</p>
<p>I am letting all the hardware go at 40% of what it cost new and will include, for free, the $1200 small Python app as it stands... it is a WIP…</p>

<p>I am letting all the hardware go at 40% of what it cost new and will include, for free, the $1200 small Python app as it stands... it is a WIP (made to work with MAC but easily ported over since it uses SQLite). I cannot offer any support, it comes as is... it is however well commented and a base on which to build.You're getting it for free if you take the hardware.</p>
<p>I will post a list of all the components I have in the next 2 weeks or so.</p>

<p>I think I can help , too. We do irrigation automation with zigbee. Can you tell me where to get probes (brands, models, etc) and sensor components?</p>

<p>I hear a lot of talk about this arduino</p>
<p>can somebody explain to me the advantages of an arduino compared to programmable relays like the Siemens Logo! ?</p>
<p>these are easy to program</p>

<p>Thanks Rex, thanks Robbie. I met Justin, a local programmer here in Vancouver, who is currently helping complete this. Once things have progressed I'll post some updates. Right now it's just easier to work with someone local because of the hardware aspect.</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Hi Shaun,</p>
<p> Count me in as well. My hardware is in route, didn't make the sleigh but shouldn't be too far behind. I will probably not get xbee for a couple weeks, but should have most of the hardware you have soon. I will be building a dome greenhouse soon, but wanted to work on the sensors, while it is cold, as I live in CO. If it is easier to just deal with Rex and I follow along, that is fine. Big advocate of the open source/linux paradigm, so if we can divide and conquer, all…</p>

<p>Possibly, My problem is that I don't have all the hardware that you are using. I do have a fairly mature project of my own that could incorporate a lot of these things. I am currently working on arduino using bluetooth instead of xbee. I was thinking of going python on my home computer until I found that I had an old droid phone that can lay around the house and actually be a handheld remote and a server to cosm for reporting.</p>
<p>I had an ethernet shield that I found out was faulty…</p>

<p>I had an ethernet shield that I found out was faulty after wasting several hours. I would like to go back to that approach. It leaves more flexibility in my opinion for expansion. I wont yet though because I am having fun with the challenge of the droid programming and making the phone become a very low power server without paying for a dial plan. Once I get it working with bluetooth, ethernet will be very easy to plug in and expand on.</p>
<p>Let me do a little more work on my system. With the holidays coming up, I plan to have time to finally finish some of the hardware aspects. I will post it and then we can talk about picking up your work. I like xbee and can see how it could be nifty for several reasons.</p>
<p>Thanks for the open source attitude. I am a big fan.</p>
