Open source DIY beehives with enviroment sensors

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 13 November 2013 0 komentar
You can download the design files and cut the beehives on a CNC machine.





From project webpage:

The Open Source Beehives project is a collaborative response to the threat faced by bee populations in industrialized nations around the world. The project proposes to design hives that can support bee colonies in a sustainable way, to monitor and track the health and behaviour of a colony as it develops. 
Each hive contains an open source sensory kit, The Smart Citizen Kit (SCK), which can transmit to an open data platform: Smartcitizen.me. These sensor enhanced hive designs are open and freely available online, the data collected from each hive is published together with geolocations allowing for a further comparison and analysis of the hives.

Off topic: meet Hexa drone - when hexabot and hexacopter have offspring

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 26 Oktober 2013 0 komentar
I, for one, welcome our robot overlords ....





From project page:

Hexapod Specs
  • PhantomX Hexapod Kit from Trossen Robotics
  • Custom 1/6th inch Carbon Fiber Plate Upgrade
  • Dynamixel AX-12 Servos
  • Arbotix Robocontroller
  • Arbotix Commander Controller

Hexcopter Specs
  • Hoverfly Pro Flight Controller
  • Custom 1/16th inch Carbon Fiber Plates and Motor Mounts
  • 2024 1/2inch OD 1/32 Wall Aluminum Booms
  • Custom CNCed Delrin Boom Mounts
  • 6 x E-flite Power 15 Motors W/ 13×6 props
  • 6 x E-flite 40amp ESC
  • Spektrum dx7 Remote

Overall Weight W/Batteries: 10.8 LBS

Future Plans
  • Hexapod Catch & Release Mechanism – Whats cooler then a Hexapod Merged with a Hexcopter? When the two can detach, and reattach with each other on the fly!
  • Switch to Open Source Flight Controller – Currently Leaning in the direction of using a Crius AIO PRO
  • Hexapod MavLink Support – Upgrade Hexapod Code to support MavLink Protocol for communications so you can use the APM for control of both machines
  • Upgrade Servos – Some of the servos are very strained depending on the stance, having props spun up obviously can help reduce this

Off topic: SenSprout 2d printed nanoparticle electronic circuits for air and soil moisture sensing

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 05 Oktober 2013 0 komentar
Printing technologies are expanding further. SenSprout is a device for monitoring air and soil moisture in order to optimize agricultural production and irrigation management. It is produced by printing the electronic circuits on paper with silver nanoparticles. It is powered by ambient radio frequencies (it harvests 2,4 GHz frequencies) and transmits data on same frequency.
I wonder how practical it would be for real life application since it looks fragile, it is currently deployed and tested. Even if not practical, concept is excellent technology demonstrator: downloadable printable sensors powered with surround electromagnetic radiation. Cool!
They use commercially available inkjet printers and commercially available conductive ink from Mitsubishi.

I think this is Mitsubishi silver nanoparticle ink they mentioned: http://www.mitsubishiimaging.com/digital-imaging-diamond-jet-NANOINK.html







Applications of 2d printed electronic circuits are infinite, similar to 3d printing. Hopefully this technology will soon expand into DIY space. There are many corporate and academic developments in conductive inks, but conductive ink can be also produced in DIY / home lab setting (this one doesn't work on paper):

Can you guess how? I think 3d printing had something to do with it (it is mentioned but not shown)
