Our laser-cut functional prototype

Our laser-cut functional prototype

After a long period of tinkering, decision making, prototyping, re-prototyping, failing, succeeding, drawing, making 3ds, soldering electronics, and so on; we are proud to announce that we are getting closer to a product design that will integrate all of the features we initially planned to include in our food-computers. We had to see this as a necessary step of prototyping, where we put drawing board away and artistic pencils down and developed a first version to be released. We wanted…

Our prototyping so far

Our prototyping so far

After having built our first few automated food-computers, we felt the need to share the valuable lessons we have learned from our experience. Growing crops hydroponically is a challenging task, but with a little bit of know-how, it can yield impressive results.  Here’s what we learned from our first trials: First of all, the strength and spectrum of your LED grow-lights plays a major role when it comes to yields. Therefore, when it comes to choosing grow-lights, one must make…

Prototyping our LED Panels 

Prototyping our LED Panels 

Hello everybody! We’ve been through a lot of prototyping so far, especially on hardware and electronics, but the most visually-striking one is about to start! Hop on board this journey on how we managed to create LED panels that are now vastly superior to the industry standard. At the start we ordered some ready-made LED panels that had a nice design and decent specs. However, these turned out to be worthless when it comes to growing plants. This led us…
