EPE Mag July 1998

[Periproct]

Don't suppose anybody here would know how I could get hold of a copy of an
article in Everyday & Practical Electronics, July 1998. The Greenhouse
computer.

I'm guessing this is a lost cause as I'd need the code for the PIC as well.

Regards

Have you tried asking them?

Hi, Alan Winstanley from EPEmag here, good to be on Usenet again.

We still publish all our legacy PIC project codes on our old FTP site, i
goes back to the mid 1990's. It was thanks to Usenet feedback that w
decided to publish them for free at the time.

ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/PICS/

Unsure which one you want, maybe PIC Watering Timer.

As regards very old project articles, we don't mind if copies of ol
articles are swapped around amongst hobbyists for a specific project. It'
nice when we're asked, but it's OK to ask in our EPE Chat Zone forum a
www.chatzones.co.uk and permission will never be unreasonably refused.

We didn't do PCB artwork PDFs that far back though.

Hope that helps

Spot on. Decided to go 'healthy' and start growing herbs (of the legal
variety)
and I know I'll kill them through lack of watering.

I obviously haven't dug deep enough.

I can probably get around that.

Hope that helps

Thanks very much for you help and apologies for not finding your post
earlier.

These are useful, cheap, and available off the shelf:

Thanks for the link but the design I was after was quite cunning. IIRC it
measured soil moisture and automatically watered when needed. I think it
also detected when the water reservoir was low and didn't run the pump as
well as switching a heater.
I've not found anything as good in the shops.

A spot of googling revealed this:

http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/0798.htm

Code is available on the ftp site still.

Bad form replying to my own post.... but: The FTP site address for the
code is here:
ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/8051

The site where I found the links:

http://mentor.etsit.upm.es/
~macias/docencia/datasheets/varios/soldering/www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/0
798.htm

(that's probably wrapped, you may need to reassemble the above lines)
