I am working on an electronics control board for monitoring and control of my hydroponics system. The design is almost finished.
The idea is to make a control that can help be monitor the status of the system and also control it remotely.
My board currently has these features:
Water quality:
- pH sensor
- Water temperature sensor
- EC sensor
- 2 x Peristaltic pumps (for adding nutrients and pH-)
Water flow control:
- Pump on/off and variable speed
- Flow meter
- 2x solenoid valves (for draining of the water reservoir)
Reservoir:
- Water level low/high sensors
- Incoming water valve (for automatic refilling of fresh water)
I have also added a sketch of the idea of the system.
