post your advanced setup * 1
    #1856552 -

This is a thread for posting pics of more advanced setups. A setup qualifies as "advanced" if it incorporates unique aspects that show inventiveness, and/or that eliminate routine maintenance.

Right... So let me run down an aquaintance's setup here. Just finished setting up the terrarium, so I snapped a pic with the camera I happened to bring along.



Here's what there is to it:
- Someone (we'll refer to as "The Operator") sits in the barely-visible recliner. This is the highest quality of lazy reclining pilot seats for any supreme setup. Any operator equipped with a seat this comfortable might as well just lay back, smoke, and chill...

- The Operator may glance at his trusty <b>active control and logging</b> computer (referred to here as the "PCBrains" of the operation), which is simply the pictured LCD monitor, with a mouse, to control the Operator's Program. The PCBrain is neatly tucked away behind the recliner, and includes a high-speed connection to the internet for remote control as well as a route to control the Other PC (the main one, that is, for everything else).

- The Operator may choose to tweak the Operator's Program, to ensure optimal conditions. The Operator may also view a logfile of conditions, for the past month, with his trusty Operator's Log Viewer.

- The PCBrains of the Operation is allowed to control a panel of four outlets. Only one has something plugged in, which happens to be that Ultrasonic Humidifier. The USH is turned on around 50% capacity for humidity.

- The PCBrain also powers two circulation fans. The one "intake" fan pipes clean fresh room air down into the tank. The long "outgo" pipe along the bottom has its air sucked through by the "out" fan.

- The "out" air, which should export carbon dioxide before anything else (as CO2 is heavy, falls to bottom), runs past the temperature and % relative humidity sensors before getting dumped into the room air.

- These accurate sensors stimulate The [infamous] Box, the heart of the automation system. Getting one of The Boxes for yourself is not an easy task, or so I hear.

- The Operator's Program periodically polls The Box, asking it how the sensors are doing. The Operator's Program then evaluates The Operator's customized routine to determine what action it will take.

- When it decides to (according to the Operator's custom program), The Operator's Program will have The Box power the UltraSonic Humidifier, which adds a smooth flow of humid air into the "intake" pipe.

- The Operator's Program continues this routine unattended, so The Operator can continue to watch his TV, surf his Web, sip his Soda, smoke his Blunt, or do whatever he pleases.

- Meanwhile, the Two Casings bask in perfect regulated humidity.

I designed this system for this aquaintance of mine, intending on making it fully automated while incorporating a good level of humidity, and very good air flow.

Hopefully this setup will get the juices flowing for others. Please post (with pics) comments on Your Advanced Setup.

DAMN! Thats a nice setup there! Did you write the program yourself? How do you go about hooking a USH and sensors to a PC?

Its funny, but, I think you'd have better results with simpiler techniques like having perlite and fanning/misting your casings! :laugh:

I've had problems with my "advanced" setups!

I think that's friggin' fantastic.  Even if you're using some anonymous cophrophile :wink: as a test mushroom, such a system [when properly calibrated/tweaked] would be great for experimenting with more finicky genera/species.  Sweet!

Nice chamber dude.
How do you control the temperature, or light for that matter?
I guess you probably don't need too where you live, or your friend lives for that matter, but if you could control it you would be able to fruit ANYTHING in your box. ANYTHING!!!!!

I built this semi-innovative terrarium for my oysters. I'll post a pic if I manage to borrow my friends camera.

Thats a hell of a setup, if I could Id invest more money into mine... I just have to keep mine kinda low key. But, had the same thoughts about the computer controlling everything... For those of you who dont know HTML from C++, www.x-10.com has a wide range of supplies for remote lighting, temp control timer/remote for fans... Etc, Etc... Also great for hydroponics... Those HPS lights many people love need to be turned off when those black DEA plane fly over and thermal image your house... Bastards.

For this reason is why, all human kind goes against the hard-wired instincts. Counterproductive.

Sorry for the dubble post, but... Is there any way I could bum a copy of that program? Maybe a 10 day trial, share-ware version?

All of that for those two dinky little casings????? WHAT A WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!



I wouldn't call it a waste.  Some people enjoy tinkering with hardware, and by combining two interests, computer control and mycology, they get a lot more enjoyment out of their hobbies.  I can understand that.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
