Arduino automated PH, EC and Water-refill progam

in arduino •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hi to all

interested self programmer who have a garden which needs to be controlled automatically, such as PH, EC and auto water refill.

Here's a short guide on where to begin, the part list and the code for arduino based language "C"


Warning HIGH VOLTAGE

Incorrect or improper use could result in:

  • Serious injuries or death
  • physical damage of the product
  • creating dangerous hazard
  • *** I take no responsibility for any of your actions!


So lets just jump into and begin with the part list:

1 x LCD 2*16 or higher if needed

1 x Box to put all the hardware together

1 x Arduino Mega (Uno is possible too but then there is not enough pins for the water level sensor)

1 x pack of jumper wires

2 x adapter (main supply for Arduino and water pump) for arduino i would suggest a 9V and for the water pump a 5v would do the job

1 x some spare electric wires

1 x 4 channel relais

1 x Tentacle shield from whitebox labs ( i find it a good solution as both ph and ec can be connected)

1 x ph probe and ec probe

1 x Waterlevel sensor

1 x pack of buttons


1 x Breadboard

Pictures provided are only for better understanding, different parts would work as well


to be continued........

Nice project @luckyhunky. Have you already estimated the costs of implementing this?
