CHMBR - Networked Fermentation Description
Nikhil, Sam, and I are building CHMBR (cool humans making badass recipes), a networked fermentation chamber to run, monitor, and analyze fermentation experiments.
The chamber itself will house a space heater, humidifier, and a raspberry pi with a temp and humidity sensor. The sensor will send temperature and humidity data to our serverless database (faunadb.)
Using Mozilla’s webthings IoT framework, the environment controllers (heater & humidifier) will be networked and accessible to toggle on / and off via curl cmds etc.
Logic on the pi will monitor temp / humidity values and toggle environment controllers to keep levels in range of the scope set in the project settings.
A simple frontend site, built with react (create-react-app lib), will display graphs, relavent data, allow for project creation, adjustment of settings, as well as toggling on and off devices.
Long term we would like to network multiple chambers and compare, timelapse photograph, and use project data to potentially create various art pieces.
