Ez Robot community I wanted to introduce my latest application of this system. Some members hear already know I keep two salt water aquariums one coral which unfortunately died off and my predator tank. Sea life needs delicate balance maintained in their little ecosystem. Things like light spectrum , temperature, ph balance , current of water , nitrate and ammonia levels and calcium levels. These things take a practiced hand to maintain. I am building a new system and using ez b to monitor salinity, nitrates and ammonia, temp , water current flow and the ph. The ADC ports are useful for these and EZ board can control the current and switching to a backup power supply ( a apc for computers inside the cabinet to keep ezb and pumps powered). Also the ezb can turn on and off night , morning , day , and evening lighting settings. With a custom injection device im designing ezb can provide nutrients , calcium and even medicine if levels are out of wack. I started the build today and I am very excited!
Ok I will rewrite the script tonight and give it another go , this is a development so additional features will be addes in. One very important feature I must add is a reconnect script. I turned off Bluetooth power management and power management policy in windows and disabled usb power management but every few hours it may drop Bluetooth connection. Anyone have autoconnect ideas
?
I'm looking to sort out an auto-reconnect solution for my bot, I haven't done anything about it yet but once I have I'll let you know.
JOSH are you adding temperature monitor to your saltwater tank design
Yes , temp , salinity , water level alerts , and nitrate measuring will be added in the next couple of months. Because living things depend on this system im adding in one feature at a time and testing as I go. Next features to be added are the alternating wave system when the aqueon pumps arrive this week and night lighting leds.
ok thats what i am using in mine PH monitor ,temp water levels and salinity i bought already most of my sensors i need ,plus HUMIDITY sensors for my gecko tanks Need to buy a PH monitor tester to calibrate my PH sensor about $20 on ebay
i do have part # and where i got each sensor including water level sensor if you need them to help you out in your project
Sure if you would post them with links and price that would be great , thankyou
anything for my friend JOSH
water level switch
waterproof temperature sensor
humidity and temperature sensor
ph electrode sensor for fish tanks
about the PH sensor it does need a small circuit and sensor its about $19
all other sensors easy to interface
But second idea is to buy a digital PH monitor and may be tap in the circuit with 0-5 volts out for ADC on EZB i will need to buy t of them ,its about $30,since might need for for calibration
PH monitor for fish tanks
all ther sensors under $4 except for humidity sensor and board
