My parts have all arrived so it's time to get started building.
I am going to start with the main Ferduino unit. When I have some more money available, I will add LEDs/Drivers/Fans, Dosing Pumps, pH Probe, etc. My tank is 120g so LED prices add up fast.
Here are the parts:
- Mega
- ULN2803
- Protoshield
- Screen
- TFT
- Ethernet
- Temperature
- PCF8575
- 16 Channel Relay
- Cat5 Cable, Couplers, and Crimper
- Various Jumpers
- Power supply from an Arduino Uno kit I had laying around
Here is how far I have gotten so far.
Only two questions so far:
1. There is a switch on the Ethernet Shield that says "5v or 3V3". Which should it be set to?
2. What type of solder is best for this project?
