He's created a kit that a farmer can fit to their existing spray boom; spray heads are only activated when the system sees a weed, which cuts herbicide use and costs dramatically.
For farm use, the hat is hard to destroy and easy to repair: inputs are clamped, it handles reverse polarity everything and ESD everywhere. It aims to be self-documenting and easy to understand.
It includes a PCA9685 PWM controller for PWM up to 2A/channel, because I figured this might be good for LED control. I don't recommend trying to PWM a spray solenoid; you will be having a bad day.
In the back of our minds, deep in our hearts, we all have a place that we think perfect, a sort of paradise where it would be delightful to live.
For me, one of those places is the country -- far out in the country and surrounded by meadows and trees, with plenty of space for animals to graze and children to play.
There was plenty of food and plenty of time, so there was no need to push one another aside (is that ever, really, the right thing to do?) nor take giant, hasty mouthfuls and gulp them down.
So they sociably grazed, enjoying the day, the surroundings, and the companionship of one another.

Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!
For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!
We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.
However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.
We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!
If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!
