Creating the OpenWeedLocator - DIY weed detection. Build yours here!

Finally got the MQTT-based operation of the OWL to some form of usefulness.

Only takes two lines to set the whole thing up:

git clone
bash owl_setup.sh

The interface lets you monitor, control and download data to check its quality.

Set up a 16 channel laser demo for the OpenWeedLocator using the new 16 channel control board.

Plan is to make precision weed control in horticulture more accessible.

First of seven 3D printed OWL enclosures for the 12m boom.

Five will be aluminium so we can compare durability/waterproofness.

PolyTerra PETG, 0.12mm layer height, Bambu Labs P1S.

3D model available here: github.com/geezacoleman...
