The whole idea for this project it´s to prototype and build a 12 plant hydroponic system with common and cheap or recycled elements that allows people grow food in their houses and be able to experiment with this particular hydroponic method.
Technical Description:
- This sketch allows the user to select between several default time modes for * the drive of the motor pump, in a hydroponic system. Interacts with the arduino driver hardware * nano CH340, lcd I2C 16x2 and the clock module RTC DS3231. Modified part of the code "Time Clock Test * Real (RTC) and Module I2C for LCD 2x16 By: http://dinastiatecnologica.com. * Authors: Norberto Moreno Vélez, Julian Quiceno * Date: 06/26/2019 * / The necessary libraries are attached to this repository. The Hardware PCB was designed in Eagle 9.4.2, and the gerber files are attached to this repository.
