creepers
A network is composed of many creepers and a single taproot.
Each creeper is a sensor for one or more plants. It is composed of:
- An Arduino-compatible microcontroller (Arduino Uno, Arduino MEGA 2560, ATmega328, etc.)
- A humidity/temperature sensor (HTU21D)
- A simple photocell
- One or more soil sensors (SEN-13322)
- An RF link transmitter/receiver pair (such as this 433 MHz kit)
- One or more plants!
The taproot is TBD; it will likely consist of:
- A Raspberry Pi
- An RF link transmitter/receiver pair
- A USB WiFi adapter

Open up a terminal for the following:
# 1. Install dependencies
brew tap osx-cross/avr
brew install avr-libc
brew install avrdude
pip install pyserial
# 2. Install the Arduino libraries
git submodule init && git submodule update
# 3. Make sure all of the Arduinos are plugged in and have the individual
# Makefiles correctly configured, then upload the programs:
