 kenkozilla | Have you been a Sensorican for long? | 22:57:27 |
 cory2070 | i'm been lurking for over a year... only contributed a little bit to docs | 22:57:55 |
| kenkozilla | that's okay too I guess :D | 22:58:23 |
| cory2070 | (helped tibi with a summary) | 22:58:29 |
| kenkozilla | nice one | 22:58:39 |
| kenkozilla | and what size of space are you looking to use GreenSense for as a matter of interest? | 22:59:05 |
| cory2070 | just a few plants on my deck | 22:59:38 |
| kenkozilla | cool, same here for the foreseeable really | 22:59:53 |
| cory2070 | for now at least :) | 22:59:56 |
| kenkozilla | I've an aloe vera and some succulents that I'll manage with the one I'm getting together | 23:00:23 |
| cory2070 | i started getting serious on this last week and dug through my pile of parts | 23:04:20 |
| cory2070 | but i think my arduino and raspberry pi are too old, and they're so cheap i'll just get new ones | 23:04:44 |
| cory2070 | otherwise all i'll got are the old style moisture sensors | 23:05:04 |
| cory2070 | so i'm trying to figure out exactly what to buy | 23:05:13 |
| kenkozilla | what generation of R Pi is it? | 23:05:16 |
| cory2070 | at a glance, 2011 | 23:05:47 |
| kenkozilla | To be fair, it's not particularly resource heavy from the playing with it that I've done before | 23:05:56 |
| kenkozilla | hmm, does it have a small or large SD? Micro SD or the large one? | 23:06:23 |
| kenkozilla | that's if it's first gen or not | 23:06:34 |
| kenkozilla | second question is if there's ram on the underside of the board, that's if it's a pi 2 B+ or a Pi 3 B+ | 23:07:19 |
| cory2070 | large | 23:07:22 |
| kenkozilla | yeah, it's the first generation | 23:07:32 |
| kenkozilla | I'd still attempt to use that | 23:07:41 |
| cory2070 | i've got to sneak out here, but i'll be back in a few hours | 23:08:06 |
| kenkozilla | like, bandwidth wise, MQTT, the protocol being employed is by design sending small amounts of data | 23:08:14 |
| cory2070 | will get some serious time in on saturday | 23:08:19 |
| kenkozilla | np, it's close enough bedtime in my timezone {GMT} so I might catch you later! Speak to you again! | 23:09:09 |
| cory2070 | i probably should get one with wifi, as i'm not running ethernet cables out there | 23:09:12 |
| kenkozilla | a Pi 3 B+ or perhaps an R Pi Zero W would be both up to the task. A Pi4 would be overkill completely but perhaps useful for other purposes too | 23:10:21 |
| cory2070 | bbl | 23:17:42 |
