This is a work in progress...
ATTENTION: 20240616 :: I am in consultation with GPT 4o to begin the design and construction of the system, now. At the end, or second part of the Story, I will post GPT 4o responses. Be aware that GPT makes mistakes, and can outright lie.
Also be aware, GPT can provide code.... this should be interesting, to say the least.
Expect more here regarding Solar Powered Artificial Intelligence, as it relates to Aquaponics, and a machine called Farm Bot.
IntroductionThe theme of this project is the integration of various technologies already developed into one, easily managed unit. the Solar Powered, Artificially Intelligent Aquaponic FarmBot has 5 main sections:
- Solar Power
- Fish Tank Management
- Plant Growth Management
- Overall Environmental Management
- Artificially Intelligent management of all systems.
Each section is interdependent upon the other in ways that the AI will manage to optimize the development of your fish school(s), and your aquaponics crop(s).
Solar PowerInfo to be added here...
Fish Tank ManagementInfo to be added here...
Plant Growth Managementinformation about plant growth management and as it relates to FarmBot devices.
Overall Environmental ManagementGreenhouse construction, and environmental management
AI Management of all systemsDiscussion on variables, inputs and outputs, and how they affect all systems.
To be Continued...Work in Progress...
