Hi To All My Special Friends

Lots to do again, the note book is bulging with sites, blogs and a couple of emails. So again I need to get focused, click my heels and see if I can get some help from some good fairy at the bottom of the garden. Meanwhile Ill just flounder along on my own......

Most useful lighting for highschool greenhouse

The new greenhouse will soon be completed (15 x 57) not including a 15x57 "prep room" in the second floor of my high school. We are planning on a Murray-esq flood drain system with a raisable double bunkbed system. I thought the T5 HO lights would be best for the widest variet of plants and best for not burning students. Im interested in the communities thoughts on the subject.

Starting Your Own Aquaponic Business or Hobby

Starting your own business may be a daunting task as most of the activities require special skills and tones of money to invest. While one may acquire the necessary skills, the money is not an easy to solve issue. However, there is one business which requires minimum investment and which pays off in less than a year. It is called aquaponics or aquaponic farming and can change your life for good...

Aquaponics in Education, Inspiration and Community Building

Last weekend Sylvia had the privilege of being the Plenary Keynote speaker for the Sweet Water Organics Workshop on Upscaling, Democratizing and Internationalizing Aquaponics.  It was a terrific event which drew aquapons, and aspiring aquapons, from as far away as England for three days in a very cold Milwaukee.  Her address was titled "Aquaponics in Education, Inspiration and Community Building."  Weve put a video of it out as a multi-part series on YouTube.

Aquaponics advocate touts merits of system
By Susan Hart
Features@StarNewsOnline.com
‘Hydro.” “Aqua.” Both words have their roots in water – literally in the case of hydroponics and aquaponics, two systems of cultivating plants without soil.
But the growing systems are different, as aquaponic specialist and dedicated advocate Jim Tinker explained to me during a recent visit to his establishment on Masonboro Loop Road in Wilmington.
For most of his working life, Tinker was a sign maker based in Sanford.

Sweet Water Organics

I’m sitting in the Milwaukee airport listening to the sounds of the Packers / Bears football game behind me, punctuated by the occasional whoops and cheers from the airport crowd.  I’m heading home from the Aquaponics conference at Sweet Water Organics where I’ve been soaking up all manner of aquaponics over the past three days.

Contests Saving Money RFduino Road Tests Special Buys And Reduced Prices

Tonights post has four items that may be of interest to someone who wants to build something cool or save a few dollars on parts for MCU projects. First, we have two build something cool opportunities.
RFduino

Symmetry Electronics and their ecommerce division, SemiconductorStore.com, are sponsoring a design-build contest called "We Know RFduino." The idea is to design and build something with RFduino, make and upload a video about your project, then promote the heck out of your project to get a lot of people to watch your video. The video with the most views in September 2014 wins $1000. There are also 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Everybody who participates gets a $25 store credit at SemiconductorStore.com when the contest finishes. (Heres a link to their Kickstarter campaign for a little background on the component.)

Four reasons for Humboldt microcontroller users to consider entering this contest are:
  1. Just for participating, youll get a $25 store credit at the SemiconductorStore.
  2. If you win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, you could win some cash.
  3. If youve been wanting to build an MCU project with wireless, this could be a good excuse.
  4. Having Humboldt people participate in this contest is a good way to promote the microcontroller community in the area. Even if you dont win, you might meet one or a few new people from Humboldt who are interested in MCUs.
The second contest type MCU activities are the Road Tests at element14. The Road Test webpage at element14 says:
"RoadTest is a group dedicated to testing and reviewing new products. RoadTesters are chosen from element14 members who apply to test equipment and volunteer to write a review. The equipment provided to reviewers is mainly development or evaluation kits for microprocessors from manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, Freescale and Microchip. Test equipment is also occasionally featured with equipment from Agilent, Fluke, TTi and Tektronix. More recently the reviewers have been given other demonstration boards from traditionally analogue manufacturers like Analog Devices, Linear Technology and Maxim."
For more details, go to the Road Test webpage, look over the different Road Tests that are currently open, and if none of them sound right for you, keep an eye on new ones that come up.

Ed Smith made a good comment to me when we were talking about one of the MCU-related contests. He suggested that before you enter a contest, make sure the benefit you can get from participating in it is worth the cost. If you get a free $20 part and end up spending a bunch of additional money and / or time that you otherwise might not have spent, maybe the contest wasnt worth getting into. Caveat emptor.

In the saving money category for tonights post, the first item is Jamecos Special Buys Outlet. I got an email today from Jameco promoting their Special Buys. I looked at some of the stuff in their outlet, but I havent done enough electronics to know if those are good prices for things lots of people actually want, or if its clearance racks for items which have very narrow appeal. Check it out and see if there are any items you cant live without...

The other saving money item for tonights post is another element14 item -- their reduced prices on popular development kits & evaluation boards special deals. John H sent me a link to this, so I wanted to pass it along to others who might benefit from it. The primary items I thought may be of interest to people in the Humboldt Microcontrollers
TI HAP-TOUCH BoosterPack
Group are the two Texas Instruments (TI) BoosterPacks. At least Ed and Nick have worked with the TI MCUs and these might be good prices for the HAP-TOUCH and Fuel Tank BoosterPacks if theyre something theyve been wanting to get. Again, my lack of electronics buying, or at least price-watching, means I dont know if these are super deals or just ok prices.

If you know of other MCU-related contests or good component pricing that you want to share, please send links to arcatabob (at) gmail {dott} com. Thanks!
