From the project
Opensource Sapflow
So you want to measure sapflow in plants? You and me both, buddy. The goal of this project is to create an open-source, accurate, robust, low-cost, and low-power system to help answer the age-old question: "How is my plant doing?"
To build the gauge, you'll need: (1) the PCB; and (2) the components.
