Kieron:
"I was bored and wanted to build an automatic irrigation system for my greenhouse. The idea came from two schoolmates who had carried out the smartplant project at Jugend forscht / Schüler experimentieren. They didn't use fischertechnik, so I wondered whether it would work with fischertechnik and the things I have at home (i.e.: TXT controller, NTC resistor, compressor, cables, hoses, T pieces, elbows, soldering boards, 1mm enamelled copper wire, 1.5l bottle, brightness sensor, plugs, jacks, soldering iron).
