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.
