Cheap wifi option

Make: magazine recently did a series of articles on a cheap $5 - $7 wifi module. They even have the arduino library ready to go. http://makezine.com/2015/04/01/installing-building-arduino-sketch-5-microcontroller/ http://makezine.com/2015/04/01/esp8266-5-microcontroller-wi-fi-now-arduino-compatible/ http://makezine.com/2015/04/01/designing-breadboard-adaptor-5-esp8266-microcontroller/

Tool Email Accounts

After working on the culticycle for a while I have realized that I now am the owner of the google drive, GrabCAD, and imgur for the tool. Most of these have collaborative edit functions, however the owner carries other responsibilities that deters accessibility to all file editing, replacing, and organization. Have we thought about making an account per tool? For example, culticycle@gmail.com and then create all the additional accounts through this one email. Everyone would have access and therefore the lead collaborators can be dynamic as people move in and out of these projects.

Great work! How about using Open Pipe Kit as Mother Node?

Hi there. I've been hoping someone would make an Open Hardware version of this design (post in the ground with microcontroller and solar panel on top) for some time now. I'm working a project called Open Pipe Kit where the goal is write a piece of software that can live on a small Linux machine like Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black that can pull data from any sensor and push it to any database (online or offline).

Great Idea

Great post. I had my first 7 pigs last year and went through a couple of variations of a pig waterer similar to this. The pigs have an amazing destruction potential, especially if an intern accidentally turns off the water. I have also been looking for ways to incorporate a timed outlet for creating a mud puddle, a short hose and a timer that would run for 5 minutes or so each day. I like the idea a lot of putting it all in concrete.
