Products that do what We open-sourced our compost monitoring tech does

I'm from a compost tech startup (Monty Compost Co.) focused on making composting more efficient for households and industrial facilities. But our tech isn’t just for composting— it’s a versatile system that can be repurposed for a wide range of applications. So, we’ve made it open source for anyone to experiment with! One of the exciting things about our open-source compost monitoring tech is its flexibility. You can connect it to platforms like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or other single-board computers to expand its capabilities or integrate it into your own projects. Our system includes…

    Composting is a great way to reduce waste and nourish your garden, but it can be confusing to know what items can and can't be composted. That's why I created canicompostit.com - a simple and fast way to find out. With Can I Compost It?, you can quickly search for any item and get a simple "Yes" or "No" answer, along with some tips on how to compost it properly. My real-time database is constantly updated with new items (and if you search for something and it's not in it, you can suggest it, then I research the item and add it to the DB).

    Sowbot is an open-hardware agricultural robot designed to close the "prototype gap" that kills most agri-robotics startups and research projects — the 18+ months spent on drivers, networking, safety watchdogs, and UI before you can even start on the thing you actually care about. The hardware is built around a stackable 10×10cm compute module with two ARM Cortex-A55 SBCs — one for ROS 2 navigation/EKF localisation, one dedicated to vision/YOLO inference — connected via a single ethernet cable. Centimetre-level positioning via dual RTK GNSS, CAN bus for field comms, and real-time…
