One of the driving factors in getting my garden project done this last weekend was my desire to enter the Instructables Arduino Contest. This contest was for projects employing the Arduino IDE in an Instructable project and the prizes are pretty cool, including an Arduino Mega! I really wanted to compete and see if I could not only win but get some recognition for this project, so I tied up all the loose ends and submitted my project Saturday.
Shortly after submitting I got an email saying that the website was going to Feature my project on the site! This is the second time I've been featured by Instructables, the first being the Mothbot, and I'm really proud.
Well, now it's time for the public to vote on the projects submitted to the Arduino Contest and I thought I'd let all my friends know. If you'd like to help out you can visit my instructable and vote. I hope I win, but even if I don't this will be a good experience and I plan to keep on making more projects. But my fingers are crossed!
