“officially” announced by Food Hacking Base at 30c3 in Hamburg and see if there are people interested in collaboration, it looks like that some people in DIY bio gropus work on a similar projects.</span></div><br style="" class=""><div class="" dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">The main idea is to develop device which can controll variety of conditions, for the start we focused on temperature having both active heating and cooling (currently using peltier elements). Humidity, light etc. will follow. </span></div><br style="" class=""><div class="" dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span class=""
style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We are now having two prototypes running, sharing the data and starting to prepare the PCB version which will be presented at 31c3. The main advantages of this project so far I would say are good electronic design which was lead by Arnd (Techinc) and coding lead by Marcel and Lars (Techinc and Warpzone), the later shared and updated through GitHub, the first shared on our wiki in form of schemes. </span></div><br style="" class=""><div class="" dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Well that would do for a short update, if you like to learn
