How to Build and Run a PFCv2.x*

*Update March 2018: Please note the OpenAg Project has paused research on this version

Getting Started

• PFC 2.0 Build Video

Hardware

• CAD files, build guide, BOM, DFX files, drawings

Software ("openag_brain")

Core system:

• High Level PFC Architecture
• openag_brain the program that runs on the single-board computer ([[:Raspberry Pi]])
• Step-by-step install instructions

  • [[openag_brain:installing:installing_globally

    developer install script]] will install the core system on a Raspberry Pi. This is recommended for development only.

Database (the "Open Phenome Library")

• Data is stored in CouchDB. See CouchDB documentation for more.
• The openag_brain:database page has documentation for the Food Computer database schemas.

Firmware

• Arduino firmware for sensors and actuators. [[:openag_brain]] automatically handles fetching, compiling and flashing firmware for your given sensor configuration.

Web User Interface (UI)

• [[openag_ui:]]: a web-based UI for controlling the Personal Food Computer that can be served from the single-board computer.
