I build and set up a box, seperated in 4 sections. Each section containing one 1 Watt LED to support the inhabitants with light. The boxes have fans, so the air inside will be interchanged from time to time. To control the amount and - for the first experiment - the duration of the light and the fans i wrote a little script that is running on an arduino. | I build and set up a box, seperated in 4 sections.

This script also counts the time (and in case of a powerdrain stores this information on the eeprom). | ||

I set up the box in my shared-working-room, which was probably not the best idea, as people there tend to be heating a lot, which results in very dry air. | I set up the box in my shared-working-room, which was probably not the best idea, as people there tend to be heating a lot, which results in very dry air. |
