“I decided to design and fabricate a Botanicalls clone because I also wanted to measure ambient light, temperature, and humidity in addition to soil moisture levels. It also gave me a solid reference point from which to explore a software (EagleCAD) and process I had no prior experience with.”

“Sometimes I just get this idea in my head, and no matter how stupid or impractical it may be, I’m not going to stop until it’s done. …so I figured it was time for a gratuitous display of silly engineering. And with that, I’m quite pleased to present the world’s first overclocked, liquid cooled Arduino :-)”

“This project is a simple Arduino clone and that is why the distribution of the pins does not match the standard Arduino. However, most of the Arduino features are included in this board. The circuit is protected by an automatic reset fuse of 500 mA to prevent any over current form the USB port.”
