Materials for putting this altogether into a working model

[awortham]

Hello! I've been looking through this repo and it looks like exactly what I am looking for. Laura Mosher was kind enough to point me towards this repo. I am wondering if there is a hardware list that has been used in conjunction with this code? At this point I am assuming a Raspberry PI and a couple of flowmeters.

Do the flowmeters wire directly into the raspberry PI? Or do I need some other hardware to tie it all together?

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for your interest. There are a number of things at play here and at the moment it does require some tinkering to make it all work as this is mostly a pet project.

What is your level of familiarity with circuit components like breadboards, resistors, etc? And you are correct that this does run on a raspberry pi, how familiar are you with managing that and command line raspbian?

This will be my first attempt at using a Raspberry PI. It will a learning experience for sure. I'm familiar with a linux command line and Ruby, but not much with circuit components. However, one of my goals for this project is to learn how to use the PI. So any help that you are willing to give will be greatly appreciated.
