That looks very cool. If anyone links a DIY instruction that would be sweet too.

I have been in contact with a company that makes grow closets. I have sent them an email in hope of them making one for me. They he replied asking for a budget which i replied 300, which I think is fair considering labor.
Also, you say these items will help me accomplish my goal of duplicating this box? Interesting. I will look into it

HEY dude, can you give me a blueprint of how you would do it? I'll totally build this fucker

Hey, give me a day or two to get you some links. The hard part would be the connecting the breadboard to the sensor. They say in the video what sensor they use.

I think here is a tut on how to connect it to the rasp pi. Once you get the signal from the sensor the rest is probably easy to code. Just a loop that checks humidity and turns fan on/off. Attach a wifi dongle and check it from your computer.

Damn, that sounds hardcore. I'm no good with wiring or any of that computer stuff. I can build anything though lol.
I'm not a hardware guy but I'm sure tons of people in the rasp pi community will help you. The concept is really simple. The pins of the sensor correspond to Input, Output, Power, etc. You just got to "plug" into the corresponding hole on the board and you should be able to get a signal. The guys downloads the "libraries", if you don't use linux normally this basically just like downloading an app. It will allow the Rasp Pi to turn the electrical signals over the serial port into readable info. Once you are there I can write the script that check it on a loop. Adding the fan would work the same way. It's a bit overwhelming at first but once you dive in I think you'll be surprised how easy it is.

When I'm reading your instructions, in my head I'm like " oh yeah yeah this is cake" but I know there's more to it... I will give it a shot and see what I come up with

in that size box one is prolly enough, my chamber is 2 X 2 X 6, 24 sq ft and I have 2, 3 inch fans

I do alot of research
How do you connect the switch to the fan? If you make it can you update this thread, very interested.
From my understanding you use something like this to get close to your Boveda pack RH and then store with Boveda packs for longer curing. If they only have to work a little bit they last way longer, from what their site says.

You know I didn't think of using both to regulate RH. I'll probably put a 62% in there which it and let the rest do its thing. In regards to connecting the fans I am researching on it now. I have a simple idea as to how it way works but I'm not 100% sure.
