The aim of this project is to implement an automated grow box for mushrooms. This has been made for the Pop Up event POLI POLO opening the 29th of april in the Laboratorio Aperto di Ferrara.

Hi everyone, I'm Keivan Amini 👋

About me 😄

I'm a 24 years old italian guy, working as Research Engineer at the Department of Physics at the University of Bologna. At the moment, I am working on statistical methods, network theory and machine learning applied to health domain!

Background 📚

I have a MSc in Applied Physics at the University of Bologna and a BSc in Physics at the University of Ferrara. Recently, I have been a Research Intern at the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique in Paris, where I have been part of the project ELSA, to study social affrodances in human-robot interaction through reinforcement learning 🤖

In my free time I work as a Digital Educator in many different school of Ferrara and in Laboratorio Aperto di Ferrara, conducting robotics and coding laboratory adressed to kids.

Interests 🧠

My interests lie at the crossroads of mathematical modeling, multidisciplinary research, and machine learning.

As a physicist, I love to derive and exploit mathematical models to describe different kind of processes, ranging from the diffusion on graphs to the dynamics of a swarm of robots. Moreover, I firmly believe that addressing complex challenges for the society (e.g., climate change) requires embracing multidisciplinary approaches, which will be every day more useful for the society. In addition, the rapid advancements in machine learning make it an incredibly exciting field to be a part of!

In summary, I am a naturally curious individual who enjoys immersing in diverse projects, each offering unique learning opportunities 🌱

Arduino shuts down when connected to an external power supply

Hi Keivan,
Very nice project btw! I tried to make a closed box with the same components as you for an control center for a grow box. I downloaded the code and library into Arduino IDE. The code run smoothly and everything seems to work. The screen is showing all the information and I can hear the relay clicking. So I uploaded the code into the arduino and connect the Arduino to a power supply. At first, it starts up, then after a few moments, the Arduino shuts down and starts up again to crash again...I tried to look at some forum about this issue. Some talks about a power supply issue, but I tried with 3 different ones with different amp so it doesn't seem to be a weak power supply or a defective one. Had you some problem with this too? If not, do you know what could it be? Because when connected to my computer the Arduino never crashes.
Thank you!
Ludovic
