This past month, members of Splatspace went to the Carolina Farm Stewards Sustainable Agriculture Conference. They were there to help demonstrate simple DIY tech projects for agricultural work and products.

Darren Boss and Jeff Crews showed off several micro controller projects. Darren displayed parts from his work on a brewtroller system and a chicken coop door that opens and closes automatically. Jeff demoed the Mantis Mill and an Arduino controlled temperature control system created by another Splat member, Mike Broome.

They also learned about several other interesting projects, like Coolbot and a variety of low tech fabrication tricks.

This was a really cool conference, and we’re looking forwards to other ways we can participate in the vibrant agricultural hacking scene in North Carolina.
