…we learned that [3Dponics] have teamed with 3DPrinterOS to bring their hydroponics system to the masses. We first covered 3DPrinterOS back in June when they announced plans to launch a cloud 3D printer operating system. As part of this collaboration, 3DPrinterOS will include the 3Dponics’ open source hydroponics system as part of their upcoming launch. This will include all of the digital files and instructions required to build the system.
“We’re huge fans of the 3Dponics project and we wanted to give users access to files right away that can be printed to make a difference in their homes and across the world,” said John Dogru, CEO of 3DPrinterOS.
3DPrinterOS continues to add supported 3D printers to their system, and users will now be able to queue up and print the entire 3Dponics system on multiple 3D printers at once, in a single process. This along with other 3D printable projects could make 3DPrinterOS quite the valuable resource. The fact that this cloud OS allows for users to not only share designs, but share their 3D printers with friends and colleagues as well, means that they can assist others in creating their own 3Dponics systems….
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
