A few years back I posted about a set of Arduino libraries I wrote to allow an Arduino with an attached clock to predict the tides for a coastal site. In that post, I showed a variation on the theme that had a motor-driven rack that transited up and down in time with the tide.
Now Jeremy Long and I have published an open access paper in the journal PeerJ (external link) describing our use of that tide-predicting-motorized-rack, which we called the Tide Height Control system. We used the THC system to recreate real tide … Continue Reading
