Apduino CUBE-0: Fish-vegetable symbiosis based on IoT and cloud computing

Apduino CUBE-0 is an experimental project designed to try the sustainable development of small agriculture that can be implemented in the backyard so that anyone can feed themselves. We want to try to get plants to grow in a small, self-contained space for a year or so. At present, we are building a passive solar greenhouse in a closed IBC container and creating a small fish-vegetable symbiotic system.

Although at this stage, our "Rubik's Cube" (IBC Container) can only operate under the power of the case, but in the future we hope that with the help of everyone, the system will be able to operate independently from the power of the system.

In a very short winter of sunshine (where the winters are sometimes as low as -20 C), we don't yet know if this device will generate enough heat to grow plants, but we will use the latest "IoT" Technology based on Arduino (an Open-source microcontroller prototype platform and inspiration for our project name), To record external and internal temperature, humidity and illumination data.

We think our Rubik's Cube is one of the best, the fish-vegetable symbiosis system based on the principle of natural symbiosis, we have also added two thermometers that can work in water to measure the temperature of the fish-vegetable symbiosis system and the heat buffers, and we have been able to publish our real-time data using the communication and information technology of the Internet of things.

We would like to invite you all to make comments and suggestions, copy our experiment, and adjust and improve it in accordance with your preferences. For now, our goal is for anyone to be able to implement their own web-based fish-vegetable Symbiosis experiment based on our software and documentation.

Our system also includes a number of other optional devices, such as flowmeters and relays to control water pumps, ventilation systems and a fan (not yet needed). At the same time, we are also developing a cloud-based, scalable, customizable fish-vegetable symbiotic system, similar to the following figure.
