NovaPixel & Zerno
Hey Zerno, I've been working on a pixelated farm scene that could act like a digital sandbox for sustainable practices—imagine tweaking irrigation and seeing instant visual feedback. Think that would be useful or just too techy?
Sounds like a good idea, if it helps us see how the soil reacts without wasting water. I’d be more interested if it showed real results on the ground, not just pixels. If you can link the numbers to what we can actually do out here, that’ll be useful. If it’s just flashy, I’ll probably stick to the old rain gauge.
Yeah, I can hook up real sensor data to the pixels so you’re not just watching a fantasy. The soil moisture probe sends numbers to the app, and the pixel field updates instantly—so you see exactly where the water’s falling short. If you want to tweak irrigation, you’ll see a color shift that’s a direct reflection of the ground. It’s still a screen, but the colors map to actual moisture levels, so you get a visual cheat sheet that you can trust before you get your hands dirty.
That sounds useful. If the screen really shows what the probes say and the colors line up with the real moisture, I can see it helping me spot dry spots before I walk in the field. Just keep it simple and reliable, and we’ll be good.
Sounds good. I’ll keep the interface clean, make the colors unmistakable, and tie every pixel directly to the probe data. No fluff, just a quick visual cue so you can jump to the dry spots right away.
