Hardware requirements (April 13, 2016)

The hardware required for the tutorials are listed at: The Greenhouse Tutorials
Although you are not required to obtain all hardware, we encourage you to do so, especially if you can get as a team to share
Minimum required: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, one sensor (e.g. temperature), one actuator (e.g. cameral)
We provide the sketch (C++ at micro-controller level) and set up guides for the hardware listed here. So staying with this list is the easiest.
