create port computer program #10

Closed kaeverens closed 3 years ago

the robot receives instructions from the port computer (a Raspberry Pi). at the moment, I do this by logging into the Pi using VNC, and using the Arduino IDE to talk to the robot through the serial monitor.

my plan is to create a node.js server that talks to a database (sqlite? mysql? plain text?) and knows how much each plant needs to be watered each day. then each day, it will get the robot to do the watering.

there will be a lot more to add into this afterwards, but the above is the minimum.

the basics of this are now written.
