I spent a lot of time and also money, but first testing V3 prototype is here. Everything seems to work just fine.
There are many improvements over Growduino V2:
- We have fully galvanic isolation on all sensors (optional), so it’s much more resistant to interference.
- Sensor cables can be up to 50 meters long (when galvanic isolation is used) - this is guaranteed. We have tested 100 meters with no problem, but in “lab” environment
- All sensors are digital now. No analog transfer over long cables = no interference with measured values.
- New, improved and our own PCB design. Now we have MainBoard and PortBoard. So there is much less interconnect cables which could lead to failure due to poor contact.
- And many more internal improvements…
If you are interested, just send me PM.
