I'm busy with a project. I have extremely little experience and mostly this programming is new to me. I have a project I have been busy with for a months. Learning as I go.however I have reached the stage where I'm stuck, ai can't help and makes it worse. Where do I turn to. Who or where can I approach as a paid for service
It's prob a basic project for experienced individual. Involves. A Uno connected to esp01 and a mega sending and receiving data for a hydroponic nutrient dispensing project. Code is mostly working but integration is stumping me. Send me rate card or pm and let's get it done
I/we/whatever can certainly help, but even if you don't want to get into the specifics in a public forum (no reason not to, though!), more of an overview is needed to get an idea of how big the project is.
Head's up: one problem that you are very likely to encounter is that understanding and integrating someone else's code can often be more expensive than the new person starting from scratch.
This is the case especially if the design is lacking. A combination of ESP-01, Arduino Uno and Mega doesn't pass the "good smell" test, and could be part of the reason you're having trouble with integration.
I don't have a published rate, so no rate card. All projects I entertain are fixed fee.
Do you not know the arduino project hub has a kit for this and several completed projects. Find one close to what you want and modify it for your use case. Otherwise, my rate when I last worked for $ in 2004 was $125 USD per hour. My minimum time frame is 6 months which is $130,000 USD with $50,000 down, $3,000 per week thereafter with a final payment of $2,000 plus expenses. However, I am not available now.
