The gear ratio varies based on preference - however, on one non-electric version here the crank is 24 teeth and 34 on the rear axle using #35 industrial sprockets and fixed gear. The rails are 24" apart from the inside on a 48" wheel track and there is about 51" from the back of the front cross bar to where the peddles clear.

Most of the new conversations are at goatech.org forums to consolidate - I recommend checking the forums out over there.   The equipment libraries and posts are still being kept active on farmhack.org.   I personally have built the germination chambers and they have worked quite well even with bellow freezing outside temperatures.  I used an oil filled crockpot as a heater, and a regular humidifier - since the first posts there are many more off the shelf plug in thermostats and humidity controls available.  Most of the work is in building food shelves for the trays.

It would be great to point one of the Farm Hack tools at the excellent documentation already started for the project.  I think it would be a good project to profile at the GOAT (Gathering for Open Ag Tech) as well.  Look forward to seeing how this project might crosspollinate with Perdue OATS ISOBlue project.

Great contribution!  There is a dynamic Farm IOT conversation that I would love to loop you into.  Check out http://forum.goatech.org .  We are working to link the Farm Hack forums into new tools like Discourse and  riot group chat to facilitate exchange of ideas.  Your data loggers would be a great tool to document in the tools section of the site- which will also make it easier to find.  Look forward to next posts!

I have put this on the issue que and I hope we can make changes to it soon. I think you are correct that there should be an indication of the number of photos and some way to more easily preview before viewing.   The other option is to embed the relevant photos directly into the wiki text, but that has its own issues too.
