It is basically just an incubator. All kinds of manufacturers for incubators .
 
I built the CannaTator - Smart Drying & Curing System, and I want to share the entire process with you for FREE.

The thing is that I am still not sure it is infringing Cannatrol patent (pretty sure not, but I am not a patent lawyer...), so if anyone who's reading it have insights that would be great - until then I will not share the how-to details...

The concept - Take a thermoelectric fridge, add a few components, and transform it into a high-tech, automated solution.
It's affordable, customizable, and packed with features you won't find in typical systems.

Everything is connected to the microcontroller, even the fridge so there is full control over the temperature and humidity over which allows implementing cool algorithms to maintain desired environment.

Here's what it offers:
  • Precision Control - Automated temperature and humidity programs using science-backed methods like slope and algorithms.
  • Real-Time Monitoring - Stay connected with live data, stages, and device status, viewable from your phone, tablet, or computer.
  • Customizable & Calibrated - Whether you prefer manual control or fine-tuned adjustments, tailor the system to your exact needs.

I wrote a detailed guide so you can build your own, but again I will not share it until this patent thing is clear enough.
  • Step-by-step hardware assembly-fully explained, no guesswork.
  • Software to automate and simplify the process.
  • Detailed wiring diagrams and tips to make it foolproof, like just ordering the PCB ready to mount.
  • How to integrate it all seamlessly into a one setup.

How much did it cost me? About €80 for the fridge and another ~€100 for components.
Help me release this to the community so everyone can enjoy it!


Feel free to ask questions!

This is what I've found about the patent filling: It's Hawes and Cohen's "Method of drying cannabis materials," filed in 2013 and published in 2015. It was abandoned in 2017 for failure to respond to an office action, so it never issued and has no enforceable claims."
So basically you can use it. I've been building one in a wine cooler using Govee devices as sensors. Have you successfully run a harvest through your chamber?
