well I personaly dont think it would be hard.
in au dicksmiths (i think its radio shack in the US
sell a pcb with parts to make a parralel port io control
card. it takes variable volatage in and out and then
converts it into code on your pc. it can be run
on say linux with in ioperm C/C++ command or with
a pointer made to the address of your prt port 0x378 what eva.
as far as infra red no go in my consideration as the spectrum is to slow and I dont think it would cut through
thick emulsions. much like sound going through rubber
uv leds and sensors are available the card costs about $50
and the sensors and leds cost about 5 to 10 each.
I have used this in hydro for moving lights about my plants
to the exact location.
so what problems would I have doing this with this info.
hmm well what spec would you need.
well I could work out plank bla particle in a box thingy
but what about emulsions. you have mutiple chemicals with
diffrent orbitals and you dont know were they are or exactly
how much there is.
so I think your code is going to be the hard part.
somthing on the lines of a tree storing all of you wavelenghts for your possible pure chems in it (I dont think
in this situation you want the proccesor to be calculating
plank and quantum on the fly unless you are running
more than one proccessor)
the some sort of algarithem to find out what the possible
mixes are from the reflected and refracted light.
well thinking on this i think that your program would
come up with more than one possible combonation of
chemicals.
I dont know as I am not an expert on chemistry but it is
something I would love to get a grip on and maby
some help on how to work this out would be good.
I personaly belive that if the chemistry side could be figured I could write the code and give you guys schematics
(I have a few schematics on light sensors and pc operated
plc units at home (still in singapore back soon))
and I think we could also make it so any one here could
write in reactions so and make the software open hive code.
maby make everyones life easier and more profitable.
all in all my light sensor and nutrient system ran on a
486 with custom code writen by me.
it had about $100 worth of electronics including relays
and it cost me about $30 for a gass soliniod.
I think you could also get stuff like water solinoids and
gass ones and get them powder coated so as the didont
corode or react.
anyway there just ideas
keep up the good thinking
remeber its not about the drugs mate its about the music
ye right
