Project EDEN is an open initiative to grow crops quickly, under near-optimal conditions with automated aeroponics habitats.

This week I will be working on some of the web interface for EDEN. I have begun to order the components which are coming from China. I want to work on as much code as possible in the meantime, so over the coming days I will be working on most of the front end. I will likely host a web server on EDEN which is connected to locally, but I'm toying with the idea of remote access. I'm also considering that protected WiFi networks will require passwords, so more thought must go into that whole situation. For now I just want the webpage built.

The interface will include features such as:

That is the basic functionality I'd like to accomplish. Adafruit has some neat IR cameras that monitor plant growth which would be fun to implement into the web UI for comparing results, but that's for later. Later there will also be a need for a community webpage in which configurations could be exchanged, and of course a main website.

Aside from that, I've freed up more time and resources to see this project through to the end. I'd estimate by this time next month I should have all of the components short of the enclosure.
