Old puzzle solved with Arduino

Posted on March 13, 2022 by Mark Donners

This is my digital version of an old riddle. A Farmer needs to take a Fox, a chicken and a sack of grain to the market. On the way he needs to cross a river in a small boat. In the boat there is only space for the farmer and 1 object a time. Without supervision, the Fox might eat the chicken or the chicken might eat the grain. How can the farmer get all items to the market? Depending on what country you are in, the version of the story might have different characters. In Holland we know it as the riddle of the farmer, wolf, goat and cabbage. What ever characters you use, the riddle is solved in the same way.

With age, soldering is becoming harder and harder on the eyes. I good microscope for soldering is an absolute must have and I donโ€™t have one yet. If you have an idea on a good one or you want me to try one, please contact me.

    take chicken over. Go back and pick up grain. Drop grain off and pick up chicken. leave the chicken and pick up fox. Drop fox off with grain. Go back and pickup the chicken!

    I am interested in you 8-64 channel fft, but for the purpose of processing displaying infrasound below 20hz into sub 1 hz freq. Looking to do some tornado measurements in the infrasound with fft helping to cleanup rain and wind noise and displaying infrasound frequencies with amplitude.
    I would be very interested in your populated PCB.

    Thank you
