Final Project :

Barilponik [Working Title]

Barilponik is a self contained automated hydroponic system. It uses the 45/55 Gallon (200Litres) drum barrel commonly found around the world. This barrels often contain food grade ingredients and chemicals and are shipped by the billion every year. The are made of sturdy HDPE plastic, are completely sealed and resistant to pretty much anything.

I imagine this system having it's very own sensor array, actuators and environmental controls that can be controled using a simple Android app.

I've established that we need to monitor CO2, O2, H20 levels as well as air and water temperature and light exposure. All the control systems should be integrated to the large screwcap of the drumm barrel, including a grow-lite LED and appropriate climate control aparatus.
