Welcome to the Open Photobioreactor project!

❗ This is a work in progress project, and may not presententiont the last development state. Yet, you can look for our goals. The most updated documentation on how to build is avalable on this document: Building instructions

We have segmented the system into individual components to simplify the choice and construction of each item, and possible modifications. This choice of components follows two main criteria: price and ease of acquisition of the items.

• pH reading
• Controlled lighting
• Light and/or color sensor
