Roadmap

This project is still in its infancy. Our current focus as of July 2014 is to create a basic system of control for the farmbot user via technologies such as:

• Farmbot Controller
• MeshBlu IoT Messaging Platform (Github)
• Ruby on Rails

Eventually, the app hopes to be a rich environment for users to manage their FarmBot and gain insights into the farming decision process.

nice-to-haves

• Actually make use of MeshBlu response objects, instead of just screaming commands at the device.
• Display device status.
• Test precision control widget on device.
• Dropdown box to select device (defaults to first)
• Better test suite for angular side of things.
