LED Lighting for Dart Frog Terrariums on SparkFun. October 10, 2014. SparkFun recently started selling 3W high power LEDs. Which are great for lighting projects that need a lot of lumens. I’ve been experimenting with some different designs to create smart LED lighting for my dart frog terrariums. They get their 15 minutes of internet fame in this weeks New Product Friday video. Check it out…. Dart Frogs and the Science of Terrariums. April 19, 2014. I’ve had a 12x12x18″ Zoo Med tank. Tour de Tanks 2015.

August 15, 2014. This past week, I’ve been working more on automating the aquaponics tank at the Boulder hackerspace. The first step was to be able to monitor the system remotely. Using a Raspberry Pi B. The data.sparkfun.com. Service and Google Charts. I was successfully able to post the tank temperature in (almost) real time via the web. This chart pulls data from the original data.sparkfun.com stream, found here. I used this tutorial. To figure out how to modify the HTML for my needs. April 19, 2015.

February 5, 2015. I finally got around to doing a big write up on the whole build, from conception to finishing touches. You can read all about the project over here. New to the site is the Projects tab. Up in the top navigation. You can quickly access write ups to all my projects there without having to search through the blog. Stay tuned, as there will be many more past and present projects being added soon. I also had the privilege of writing up a blog post. Tour de Tanks 2015. Tour de Tanks 2015.

Free Hardware / Open Hardware. But that in no way makes it free. There is no free software for programming those CPLDs. Furthermore, it has to be hosted on Windows. Sigh…. Red Hat Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL). Schematic and PCB layout software. Hosted on GNU/Linux is our current recommendation. For simple projects, two free alternatives exist: gEDA. GNOME based, GPL) and KiCad. PAL, CPLD, FPGA Development Tools. Not much to recommend here as most tools are still proprietary. For now it may be necessar...
