I’m excited to share the latest progress on my hydroponic control system! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been testing almost every component of the newly designed PCB. As is often the case with development projects like this, there were a few (un)expected challenges along the way. Fortunately, none of the issues were critical, and I’ve managed to address most of them successfully.

The board is now functional and will soon begin controlling my hydroponic system, starting with a batch of strawberries. It’s an exciting milestone to see the hardware finally coming to life after all the design and assembly work.

However, the software side is still in its infancy. While there isn’t much code driving the system yet, that phase of development is on the horizon. As I start integrating the software, I’m looking forward to creating a seamless, automated experience for managing nutrient levels, pH, and environmental conditions in my hydroponic setup.

If this project sparks your interest and you’d like to contribute your expertise or collaborate in any way, I’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re a fellow enthusiast or a professional with experience in similar projects, your input could be invaluable. Don’t hesitate to get in touch – let’s build something great together!
