What you'll learn: Requirements:
Learn how to build a practical irrigation system for watering up to four zones
Learn how to wire up a set of relays from arduino microcontroller
Learn how to upload code from your laptop from the Arduino IDE into the arduino
Learn how AI can be used to help generate Arduino code that can control your gardens watering
No programming experience is required. However if you have some experience it will help. No irrigation experience is required however if you have some it will help. You will need to buy the components before following along on this program however i have tried to keep it as simple as possible and as cheap as possible. A working computer is required.
List of components required for irrigation projects TOOLS Computer USB A to USB B Wire striper optional Crimper (optional) Pliers Arduino UNO board or equivalent Female to male connecting cables for arduino Arduino uno shield with screw in terminals 2pcs 9 volt battery box. 2.1mm plug for Arduino Arduino Compatible 8 Channel Relay Module 10m of 1.5mm cable Ferrules for connecting the ends of cables. 1 inch ball valve The connection into the valve will depend on what you have available 1 inch nipple x 6 4 way 1 inch manafold 1 x 1 inch cap 4 x Hunter PGV Solenoid Valve 25mm (inc. Flow Cont.)(DC Latching Coil) For the output i went into 19mm low-density pipe which means i used 4 x 1inch to 19mm hose connector with 22mm ratchet clamps on each exit 19mm low density pipe length will depend on how many sprinklers you would like to run I used a hunter pro spray mp3000 with 360 degree nozzle.
