What's new in v1.8
FarmBot Genesis and Genesis XL v1.8 will be even faster to assemble and have a more refined appearance thanks to semi-translucent extruded cable carrier supports along the gantry main beam and up the Z-axis. These new components better conceal FarmBot's wiring while also providing a professional diffused look for the LED strip at night.
Additionally, all-new track, gantry column, and gantry main beam aluminum extrusions, as well as optimized plates and brackets significantly reduce weight throughout the machine to improve movement speed and reliability while also providing a more polished appearance.
There are many more small improvements which we'll share about in the coming newsletters.
What will you grow?
FarmBot is well suited to growing a polycrop of veggies and herbs (many different crops and varieties in one garden at the same time). From Squash to leafy greens to Thyme and Basil, FarmBot can put the garden on autopilot while you benefit from fresher produce grown under your control.
100% open-source and fully documented
Complimenting the hardware is the supporting open-source materials that make FarmBot truly yours. This includes:
- Comprehensive hardware documentation including assembly instructions, the change log showing all of the changes we made since the last version, and a full bill of materials.
- Software source code so you can inspect, modify, and host your own software if you choose (we also offer free app accounts for life, included with every purchase).
- Software and developer documentation for teaching you how to use the app as well as the API for custom integrations.
- Open-source CAD models so you have the right to repair, and everything you need to design and 3D print custom compatible parts.
