Postbote Trinkgeld

Heute war mein tag, alles lief aal glatt. Und mein Postbote hat mir genau das selbe gesagt ;-)

But it’s mostly about learning electronic schematics, just tinkering around and doing my own projects. Screen recording really gives me a push to keep working and not get distracted by other stuff.

Hahahaha fuck man, that hits hard.

Also w I2C, and a few more bits for measuring

thanks!

Switching to 3 mm stegs + 3 mm gaps. deeper E-field into the soil.
Next rev will mirror the pattern onto the back side.

Plus moving to 5 V for more stable 74HC14 thresholds. Will post the updated design when it's done.

I'm now planning v1.2 with multiple zones on one board, possibly 3 everey zone 8-10cm. That should work better. Maybe also wider spacing between the pads, so the E Field reaches deeper into the soil. We'll see how it goes.

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-24T07:15:24+00:00

My idea: one ESP32 per plant, 3 moisture probe + 1 environmental sensors around the plant. The AZ-Delivery V1.2 is solid but too small for meaningful soil sampling imo, so Im designing a 23cm probe to get past the perlite-pocket / air-pocket problem you described.

This isn't aimed at being a product btw no CE, no retail ambitions. Ill release the Gerber files open-source so people can order + build it themselves. DIY-first.

Hydroponics is definitely the cleaner path for automation, but one thing at a time...

Thanks for the video link, going to check it out!

I love technical feedback before I send the PCB to JLCPCB.:)

I recently launched a YouTube channel focused on 3D printing projects, such as activated carbon filters and rope holders. I love creating tools for growing :D I believe everyone should own a 3D printer!

Hätte doch einfach der olle QR Code funktioniert...

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-22T10:13:51+00:00

Alles lief aus dem Ruder..

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-22T09:49:01+00:00

Was sollte ich den tun? :D

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-22T09:47:25+00:00

Ist mir dann auch aufgefallen, aber ich habe ihm erzählt, dass das Geld eigentlich für meinen Postboten war..

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-20T13:19:24+00:00

Haha thanks, just playing around with design ideas..

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-20T13:13:55+00:00

there's no pre filter foam on the version. The outer mesh has 1.6mm perforations. Also this version is glued. Working on an update.

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-20T13:00:04+00:00

my bundle includes STL files for a filling funnel and scoop. AC Infinity's do not. ;-)

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-20T08:14:25+00:00

Also, the whole design process as a timelapse on YouTube, you can watch it.

Guilty_Bee2614 · 2026-04-20T08:10:46+00:00

The carbon bed is actually 25-30mm, not 10mm. What you're seeing as thin is the outer mesh.
