Arduino Controlled Grow and PC Program - Work In Progress

[omnidrive]

look this ElginAgain for the voltage protection: for my realisation i use 8 relais board shield for activate this power contactor
its the best shematics for full protection and high power circuit.

 

[omnidrive]

Advanced do you have search a co2 sensor ? look this it's a MG811 Co2 sensor


and for the phidget i recommande :
Open Reefs Sensable, Part 2, http://www.openreefs.com/



it's open source

 

[omnidrive]

Advancednewbie if you need to code particular ask me I seek for you so you can concentrate on programming.
I take the time to help you in this task, my goal is to save you time and make your project operational in the best condition.

for fan control i will be used this shematics with pwm 0-10 Volts control: http://www.astuces-pratiques.fr/electronique/variateur-de-vitesse-pour-moteur-secteur-230v-16a

- 1 Unis CO2 controller ecotechnics with bottle of 10 kilos

look the result of my last session :

I have the same CO2 Sensor, but on a 5v breakout board with an adjustable pot. I wanted to incorporate a fan speed controller, that circuit looks like it might just do the trick with the diac. Those openreef BNC boards look pretty good as well. On the to-do list is the following:

-Third on/off timer --> Interval timer: hours/mins/seconds ON hours/mins/seconds OFF
-Enable/Disable setpoints ----> Auto/Manual control - relays
-System --> Change username/password
-System --> Update interval --> based on time not number of loops.
-System --> Display versions [serial] ( ie. Arduino Firmware Version: x.x.x, Python yieldbuddy Version: x.x.x, PHP yieldbuddy Version: x.x.x )
-System --> Event Log (use SQL and date/timestamp)
-Email Alerts (System --> Email Setpoints --> Email Alert Enable/Disable)
-TFT LCD Screen

So far I have done the following:

**Fixed set arduino time under system
**Fixed RTC setup sketch to use DS1307RTC library
**Split sketch into seperate files
**Fixed relay buttons on overview.php into a table
**Removed lighting and watering pages and put them on a new timers page

I will post the new code soon.

Disregard this post. Didn't notice the TRIAC in the circuit.

 

[omnidrive]

look this it's a fan thermocontrole of power supply of Pc, is good for the inline fan but this electrical tension is 0-12 v



My choice for the co2 sensor is an NDir

do you have receipt my mp mail advancednewbie ???

look this page:

https://code.google.com/p/jarduino-aquarium-controller/downloads/list

there anything that you could help your project , download the version 1.1 is free

[omnidrive]

New Design !!!
what do you think my friend ?
Advanced do you have information for the coordinate of my itdb02 4.3 ?
thank-you !

 

[omnidrive]

Advanced you are the best

Looks awesome in that case. By 'coordinates' do you mean the pinout?

Advanced you are the best

I know, right? lol... Working on bring back the touchscreen and email alerts right now! Thinking I'll post what I've done already first though, as sort of a 'checkpoint'.

This was exactly my idea. I wanted to use the same arduino board to measure temp/humidity/ppm/ph/co2, even perstaltic pumps to make my own dosing system. Even wanted to use heat equations and extensive data logging, such as nutrient use vs co2, temperature etc. I wanted to have it so that if the temperature outside is reasonably cooler than inside, and wasent rising too quickly to use co2, otherwise it would use the fan to ventilate, but if it was nearly as hot outside as inside I wanted it to go full blast co2 and use AC. This was ment to keep as much co2 as possible and only cool when required, saving AC by only using it when its too hot outside for ventilation anyway.

I ordered the arduino and got it to display temperature/humidity, but I have a massive problem! The god damn thing keeps freezing, I think its something to do with my read_DHT function. Have u had any similar problems? Here is the code I used: http://weather--station.googlecode.com/svn-history/r3/trunk/WeatherStation.pde from THIS website http://www.hobbyist.co.nz/?q=weather-station

Please its so frustrating... all I want to do is it display temp and humidity WITHOUT FREEZING and then start working on some basic temperature control.

 

[AdvancedNewbie]

Use the DHT library and code found here: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/DHTLib

 

[omnidrive]

my probleme is the touch of the touchpanel isn't cooredinate

 

[omnidrive]

advanced look this : https://github.com/FernandoGarcia/Ferduino_French/tree/master/Circuitos auxiliares

[AdvancedNewbie]

Looks like he has most of the features for the interface figured out.
