As usual, out here on the plains, things move slowly.
Received the Seeediuno Ethernet board. Nice little thing. It is missing the micro-SD card, but that shouldn't' be a big problem. The LCD screen coming has one. Also did come to the conclusion that the AtMel 168 has too little RAM to do Ethernet properly. I'll keep playing with it though and see what I can do with it.
It is working, I can get it to respond to requests from the PC.
Here is the link to the screen I have on order:
3.2 TFT LCD Screen Module: ITDB02-3.2 3.2 TFT LCD Screen Module: ITDB02-3.2 [DIS002] - $27.50 : iStore, Make Innovation Easier
They also have a shield for a Arduino Mega card. I ordered both from them. Wasn't sure how long shipping would take from China, but we heard from the shipper on Friday, asking if anyone would be here to sign for a package. So it will take 12 days to get here. That is impressive. I've also ordered some sensors to start working with.
And I've been working on the project paper. This put my thoughts, designs, testing and projections on paper. Basically will fully explain what I'm doing and how I plan to get there. Not sure if I can post it here or not. We'll see.
I also harvested again two weeks ago. Lost about a third of the harvest to powder mold. Still ended up with 86 grams after drying, before putting in jars. Same good buzz, and they are tighter and heavier. The Fox Farms soluble fertilizers are great. I'd say they increased bud size by 100% or more.
Well that is it for now. Next week I'll post something on the LCD screen and where I'm at with it.
