If you are interested in seeing what is going on with your garden this Garden Monitor Project is something you should take a look at. It is using a Picaxe microcontroller and has an interesting home brew communication process. All of the schematics and source code are also provided. "One day we had a good hard rain and I could see it the graph of the data; the surface temperature suddenly dropped, the light intensity dipped, the humidity rose, and the three inch moisture sensors indicated an increase. Later that day I was on the phone with my girlfriend and she said it had also rained early in the morning (I must have slept through it;) I looked at the data again and there it was… now that I knew what to look for I could see from the data that it started raining at about 05:10 in the morning. That’s when it struck me that this thing really does work!"

Working Link?

KB;
The Link works, but it’s a free service and only one person an hour can view the page. That’s GeoCities for ya’.
Anyone know of a better, free Web Hosting Service?
Good Luck!

I set up a mirror to the site at http://rousslabs.googlepages.com/GardenMon.html though I didn’t catch the source code, yet.

You could use Googlepages as a free host but it is very simple and can’t do many special things like php or js. Not sure how it compares to GeoCities but can’t be any worse.

Alan - this kind of monitoring is great. I think that what we’ll wind up with is something between your hack and the product available at http://www.plantsense.com/
I kill everything I plant so I need SOMETHING to tell me what the heck in going on and recommend changes.

Could you post the java code?

The Java Code is Copyrighted; Is this for your personal use, or for a business?
