A reoccurring curiosity of mine.
A few years ago I saw how somebody had a hydroponic garden above a fish 'tank' regulated by a Raspberry computer, but I did not look closer into it.
Now I am hoping to actually garden, and I bought chicks. The Raspberry popped up again, could I use that thing in the coop?
(the answer is yes, it's been done, turn on lights, play music, open coop doors.)
However, those types of computing uses are at this point beyond me. As I stated before, I did not get into the C64 thing, never learned how to modify a computer past replacing the RAM and adding a 2nd monitor.
What do you experts suggest to start off with? A book? Or jump in with both feet and buy a unit, and take it from there?
