mycology_lab

Automated Mycology (mushrooms) lab composed of 4 stages:

  • Temperature Control
  • Humidity Control
  • Growth Chamber
  • Fruit Chamber

Overall solution is to use 4 Arduinos to independently control each stage in the lab. Each Arduino communicates with its peers over Wifi. 1 of the Arduinos acts as a gateway to communicate sensor readings and current state to a Google Spreadsheet. The entire lab implements the idea of Runlevels from 0 (sleep) to 4 (full function, central control). The Google Spreadsheet allows for data collection and an interface for building a lab execution profile. Control system is modeled using Fuzzy logic in the Google Spreadsheet, with each Arduino implementing independent control logic if connectivity with peers is lost.
