Hi! I'll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I'm posting this to ask for inspiration.

What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you'd like to see implemented? What is a problem that you'd want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?

I know this is very vague, but I'm curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)

Maybe some cheap remote sensor to check the temperature inside a compost heap?

this could be interesting. unfortunately I am not at all familiar with composting so don't understand why this would be useful. could you please explain why temperature monitoring is important for composting, or direct me to somewhere I could read more for myself? I want to learn, thanks :)

We have a [email protected] community with some experts. But basically a compost heap is heating up from the microbial activity in it and you want it neither too hot or too cold and thus it is interesting to know if and when to turn it.
