Arduino

I’ve recently started playing around with Arduino. I started out with the beginners kits and have that has exploded a ton of ideas of projects I want to create.

My first thoughts were to control my fan in my network rack with some logic to turn them on and off based on temperature ranges. After doing quite a bit of research I’m not sure I want to mess around with high voltage as one of my main projects :) I have no adverted my attention to Xbee. Which is a low powered wireless network. Which is perfect for hooking up sensors.

I’m thinking of automating the water of my garden using Arduino and Xbee. I’ll post up some design soon and post the progress I am making.
