-====== OpenCoral Open Logic and Automation Controllers ======
+====== OpenCoral Open Source Aquarium Controller ======
-===== Formerly the OpenCoral Open Source Aquarium Controller =====
+Welcome! You've reached the home of the OpenCoral open source aquarium controller home page. Here you will resources for the construction of DIY automation equipment, developed in an open fashion usable by experienced hobbyists, for the control and monitoring of aquariums (both saltwater and freshwater).
-Welcome! You've reached the home of the OpenCoral system of open programmable logic controllers. We are a very small team working on developing software and hardware, in an open fashion usable by experienced hobbyists and companies, for the control and monitoring of aquariums (both saltwater and freshwater) and other automation systems (irrigation, etc). This site documents the design and development of the various components in this project. You will find open hardware designs, open source software for the control of the system, along with open system specifications allowing others to develop modules and controllers.
-===== Goals =====
-  - Produce an Open Source and Open Hardware Programmable Logic Controller and related modules and systems.
-  - Allow the system to expand well beyond the average home aquarium control system.
-  - Define a standard interconnect based on readily available parts and standards, allowing not only OpenCoral modules from communicating but add interoperability between various vendors' modules and controllers.
-  - Remain flexible to allow the designs to be re-used and adapted to other related fields, such as hydroponics and horticulture.
-  - Go beyond the available commercial offerings by providing a fully open system specification, hardware design, and software/firmware.
-  - Provide features and modules which would generally not be commercially viable to develop.
