The Photon is $19 vs the Core at $39, so total build cost is only $22.

Love the RPi waterer. Very funny, I was actually thinking of building something similar for my next project. Will definitely get ahold of you when I start it!

I was not aware of the SparkCore. I almost started building my own version of this but decided against it as there are similar “beeping” devices on the market. Very nice to find another hobby-hacker in the world. My summer project is gardening via my Raspberry Pi: https://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/06/28/raspberry-pi-gardening/ Input is always welcome.
