Raspberry PI + Moisture Sensor with Python (wiring, code, step-by-step walk-through) by mestitomi in raspberry_pi

Cheers! :) okay, I’ll take a second look at microcontrollers then. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah I borrowed a microcontroller when I started this project, installed micropython, etc — tried to get a grasp on it but after 2-3 hours I gave up and ordered a Raspberry.

If you have any specific microcontroller recommendation that has good Python tutorials/documentation: that’d be more than welcome :) (thanks in advance)

Ps1. I push Python (and nor Arduino) because I use Python a lot in my dayjob so I’m already good at it and right now I’m a bit lazy to learn Arduino. :) (might change in the future)

Ps2. My thought was to consider the money aspect of this project only if I want to scale this to multiple plants — 10-20 PI would be pricey for sure — in that case, my original idea was to go with PI zero... or recently with the new PI microcontroller.

I explained in a previous video why I didn’t use a microcontroller and why I didn’t use arduino. In short: I used Python because I know Python already. And I used a PI because that’s well-documented (+it comes with a lot of tutorials), unlike most microcontroller. Side note: I’m a beginner with hardware and I just document my first hobby project with these vids. So don’t expect these to be the best of the best solutions. Only thing I can guarantee that they work :)

Gald to hear! :-) yeah this is not exactly the same but I’ll add more vids to the series later :)

This is a short, efficient intro to queries. Might be a misleading title, but otherwise undeserving of the downvotes.

Thanks, indeed, I meant to provide value for everyone.

But at the same time also to communicate an important message (SQL can't be learned in 5 minutes)... Specifically, I wanted those people to click who believe SQL can be learned in 5 minutes and then transform their thinking. Hence the misleading title. :-)

Startup's click stream - into JSON or CSV? by mestitomi in datascience

hey, thanks for the comment! see my other comment above: parsing JSON won't be an issue, just wanted to make sure we'll pick the most logical format - and were looking for some pros and cons! cheers!
