Nice...sounds like you are borderline pro level....I would love to able to cut some custom Arduino casing...that is one reason I have been researching the 3d printer craze lately...

Lol I wouldn't quite say professional cause I don't get paid for it! It's a love of mine fiddling with electronics. And I have a partially built ultimaker 3d printer frame that's on the slow boat to getting finished. And those canna coins... How long before there is an ASIC to mine those and my cpu or gpu is useless for mining hahah like bitcoins are now.

What about Butterfly Labs?
or their cloud mining, lol....not fudgin cheap either!

Ha ridiculous! I tried my hand at mining but quickly realized there is very little possibility of even making my money back for electricity let alone pay for my own mining rig or pay $1500 for a contract. Bitcoin is totally blown up and no way to earn a cent without an expensive rig. But maybe these canna coins are worth another look because it says they are designed for lower power processors

Yeah, I agree. Nowadays you're basically going up against giant processor farms. Maybe more money in buying a metal detector and going to the beach...

Haha good idea or try collecting bottles and cans lol

yeah @JEX SPERGO I would like to follow up on this.....any recommendations?
I did check this out some more, and as an infrequent user here with a small thing going, will say this....
Uv lamps seem actually to be rather damn dangerous, especially insecticidal ones, they literally let out lethal uv spectrum radiation, not the party lights, and I recommend you be extremely careful with this sort of thing. I won't be using them

Agree, I am aware of the UV concern as I used to do RO water in water quality and one of the stages involves a UV-C bath.....and is strictly enclosed away from living tissue
.......wonder why Thanks though, appreciate you poppin up and all

Working on a bunch of projects for a "smarter" grow.....
1st one is a DIY lux meter....build it for less than $12....[soldering required...]
http://rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/arduino-2-1-build-a-diy-lux-meter-for-12.31448/
I will post more up about Conversions but you can use a lux meter to convert to both Lumens per meter squared [photometric]... lu/m^2 or they can be converted to PAR readings too....umol/s ..[radiometric].
I will get into both of those when I get some time....legit way to measure light cheaply....Google the differences between the way we perceive light [photometrically] and actual light energy including UV and IR bands [radiometric].....This is the reason that lumens can be misinterpreted in some cases....yes lumens can be converted from radiometric data, but not all lumens can be converted back to Radiometric data.....So in theory that would be two different readings.....
I am working on a battery powered version [9v] with the smaller Arduino [Nano]....so that it will be far more portable.....

ok what did you place those electronics inside of, looks like an old Vase?Working on a bunch of projects for a "smarter" grow.....

.....close, it is actually the base, on one of those outdoor patio umbrellas....This piece housed the crank....and splits in half [closed with invisible rubber bands] and the top just so happened to perfectly fit the 4 corners of the module....Lucky hack!

cool.
I think that stuff with razvberry pie is so cool, how you can do also thermostats, humidity readers and then run them for a timer also. good for the kids ey

Well a thread over the in the led section pushed me to work on datalogging with the Arduino.....so i did
My first "real-time" sensor I have is this soil moisture probe sensor...I will have a Journal entry with source code and such...[the sensor only has three wires I am using: Analog Out[A0], Power[5v] and Gnd.]
Last night I tried out two different programs
Here are my quick graphs from both programs....
Next is grabbing and looking at data/ graphing data...... in real-time vs. waiting/Saving/SD Card etc...with a program called "Processing"...

- The native Windows Xp: Hyper terminal
- CoolTerm, a cool little freeware terminal emulator
