[11:48:51]<mstenta>andygraybeal: ping
[11:48:59]<mstenta>were you asking about connecting sensors?
[11:49:03]<andygraybeal>hey manb
[11:49:04]<mstenta>to farmOS
[11:49:07]<andygraybeal>not recently
[11:49:08]<mstenta>hi! :-)
[11:49:17]<andygraybeal>bro.. sept in penn????
[11:49:17]<mstenta>oh... but you did ask about it, right?
[11:49:24]<mstenta>haha
[11:49:30]<andygraybeal>yes i asked but a while ago.. i have not spent anytime on it recently
[11:49:37]<mstenta>sorry, my long term planning isn't great :-)
[11:49:56]<andygraybeal>get me some data by sept.. i'll be pushing your product
[11:50:09]<andygraybeal>i don't have time to do it
[11:50:13]<mstenta>check it out: http://drupal.org/project/farm_sensor
[11:50:22]<mstenta>we put together a proof-of-concept
[11:50:37]<andygraybeal>nice
[11:50:42]<mstenta>oh wait.... i still haven't pushed all my commits up
[11:50:45]<andygraybeal>are you using pi or arduinos?
[11:50:57]<mstenta>eh... don't look at the code on that page, there's a lot more to it
[11:51:08]<mstenta>well, so i tried to design farm_sensor as just a framework
[11:51:09]<andygraybeal>i don't have time to look at much right now
[11:51:17]<andygraybeal>it's the end of the month, i gotta pull off a bunch of sales
[11:51:23]<mstenta>i also made a module called farm_sensor_atmospi, to connect to the Atmospi devices that I have set up in my house
[11:51:30]<andygraybeal>nice
[11:51:47]<mstenta>(Atmospi is a simple web-app that runs on a Pi with sensors attached: http://github.com/mstenta/Atmospi)
[11:52:17]<mstenta>andygraybeal: cool, well i'll put together some screenshots and stuff to show you what it looks like
[11:52:23]<mstenta>i'll post them on the project pages when i get to it
[11:52:30]<mstenta>just wanted to give you the heads up :-)
[11:52:34]<andygraybeal>cool!!
[11:52:37]<andygraybeal>thank you man that is awesome
[11:52:40]<andygraybeal>i can't wait to start using it.
[11:52:47]<andygraybeal>i can't wait to start demo-ing it!!!!
[11:52:52]<andygraybeal>sorry i don't have much time right now
[11:52:59]<mstenta>do you have any sensors set up already? maybe we can figure out how to hook them in
[11:53:05]<mstenta>no worries... i've been busy too
[11:53:06]<andygraybeal>you think you could get your butt to penn in sept with a demo?
[11:53:12]<mstenta>possibly
[11:53:19]<mstenta>i'm really only looking as far as July right now
[11:53:34]<mstenta>getting married the 11th... so that's sort of the focus of my spring/summer right now :-)
[11:53:38]<andygraybeal>no i don't have sensors... i just have a farm that is ready to take whatever you got.. and we can have a site demo.
[11:53:47]<andygraybeal>jesus.. you gotta get married gahh...
[11:53:55]<andygraybeal>well hurry up.
[11:53:57]<mstenta>cool! well an Atmospi is pretty cheap and easy to set up!
[11:53:59]<mstenta>haha yea
[11:54:07]<andygraybeal>congrats btw.. i'mjust being farcical
[11:54:15]<mstenta>thanks! :-)
[11:54:20]<andygraybeal>yes, atmospi is probably what everyone will use
[11:54:30]<mstenta>also, my friend RJ is wokring on a really cool project called Open Pipe Kit
[11:54:35]<mstenta>for connecting all kinds of sensors
[11:54:36]<andygraybeal>have you gotten any negative feedback so far from using atmospi in industrial grade projects?
[11:54:43]<mstenta>based on Rasp Pi
[11:54:56]<mstenta>i haven't used Atmospi in any projects! :-)
[11:54:59]<mstenta>just in my house
[11:55:29]<mstenta>i just experiment with sensors myself... not really deeply involved with them
[11:55:39]<mstenta>but i want to have a way for other people to hook them into farmOS
[11:56:04]<mstenta>so Atmospi is the seed for that experiment for me
[11:58:42]<andygraybeal>but yes.. think about hydroponic aspects... especaialy when everyone is legalizing it
[11:59:01]<andygraybeal>this is exciting!
[11:59:20]<andygraybeal>well if you have a demo by sept or not.. your welcome to be at my booth
[11:59:48]* emjayess has joined #farmos
[11:59:53]<andygraybeal>i am designing our booth now.. so i can make sure you have space if you can commit soon-ish
[12:00:27]<andygraybeal>it's a flipping tiny space.. and we hardly fit ourselves.. but i want your product to be there.
[13:16:11]<mstenta>hey sorry andygraybeal, missed your messages
[13:16:18]<andygraybeal>hey no problem
[13:16:24]<andygraybeal>sorry for not flagging your nick
[13:16:25]<mstenta>ok let me give it some thought and get my stuff together... it sounds like a good idea though
[13:16:32]<mstenta>(penn in sept)
[13:16:40]<andygraybeal>you gonna go to mofga?
[13:16:46]<andygraybeal>i'm thinking about going to maine sometime
[13:17:22]<andygraybeal>i'm friends with baryonx knife co, fedco, scythe supply, and johnny's... all up in maine :)
[13:17:24]<mstenta>i really need to get farmier all automated so i don't have to manage stuff
[13:17:37]<andygraybeal>cool! we can shoot for next year.
[13:17:45]<mstenta>i'd love to go to mofga... is that in sept also?
[13:17:50]<andygraybeal>yea, i believe
[13:18:02]<mstenta>yea let me know if you go
[13:18:20]<mstenta>i need to weed wack
[13:18:23]<mstenta>talk to you later!
[13:18:30]<andygraybeal>dood you should get a scythe
[13:18:38]<andygraybeal>mstenta, scythes are way better than weed wackers
[13:18:44]<andygraybeal>i will teach you when we meet up
[13:18:47]<mstenta>ok cool!
[13:18:51]<mstenta>i believe it
[13:19:21]<mstenta>the stuff i'm doing is around buildings and stone walls and stuff, so scythe might not work there
[13:19:23]<andygraybeal>yea, they got lost in all this motorized tech in the 40's and 50s raging lawn ego
[13:19:26]<mstenta>but in the field...
[13:19:54]<andygraybeal>aah edging isn't so bad with a scythe and whjat you cant get with a scythe a sickle will get
[13:20:19]<mstenta>hmm ok i could be convinced
[13:20:23]<mstenta>:-)
[13:20:24]<andygraybeal>i need to mow too.. this time last year i had most of it done.. but not with the kid ...... i can't do any of it
