Getting Started
Suggested steps for getting started with FarmBot
If you just finished your FarmBot hardware assembly, you should be ready to set up FarmBot’s software. We suggest proceeding in the following order:
- Create a web application account at my.farm.bot.
- Install FarmBot OS and configure FarmBot to connect to your home WiFi network and your web application account.
- Verify that manual movements are successful throughout your FarmBot’s working area using the manual Controls.
- Calibrate the device.
- Adjust Device parameters as desired and/or needed.
- Add Tools and Tool Slots.
- Create and test Sequences for mounting and dismounting tools.
- Add plants to the Farm Designer.
- Create Sequences to use the Tools on the Plants (ex: planting a seed, watering).
- Create Regimens to take care of a plant throughout its entire life.
- Schedule Events to run your Sequences and Regimens.
Extras: Add a webcam feed, define peripherals for easy manual operation.
