I've been working on creating a system where Audrino gathers information from instruments and sends it to Processing which would then send it onto Pachube so it can be recorded. Ive chosen this method over using a Ethernet shield-->
as I find it simpler and also cheaper even though the draw backs of this method is that i have to leave a computer within close proximity to collect the data, it is possible that I could hook this system up to a Wifi shield-->
to solve this problem but again I would have to go out and buy this when I'm currently busy working on our Orbitropic mechanism which seems to be filling my time quite well. The plan is to use this system to accumulate the data from our sensors in the orbitropic system and plot this online to give us an idea of how the plants are growing and what the best environment is for them allowing us to monitor and make changes accordingly.
