Hello everyone!

With the help of Fernando and all forum could run 100% on all mega> ethernet shield> TFT shield> screen. I had some problems but with the help of the forum managed to solve.

I had already done all the circuits and was missing only complete the mega to do the assembly.

ferduino will use to control LED (5 + 1 channels moonlight) to the LED lumia5.1, three temperature sensors, heaters, chillers, 2 timers and four dosing pumps.

I will use a single source for the system, 36v 600w 16A, for LEDs and stepdown to relay and devices with 5 or 12V.

For the mega'll use a separate power 9V 2A.

Here are a few photos that already have ready in as you will conclude posting more.

ps .: this is my first project with Arduino.

Hi!

Good job Marcos! :ymapplause:

This enclosure for dosing pumps can be smaller to save some space.

Best regards.

Thx Fernando,

This enclosure for dosing pumps can be smaller to save some space, but i check the size of dosing pumps brand jebao, bubblemagus, etc and took a similar size to have a pattern.

Yes, but this commercial dosing pumps have the controller and LCD inside. :)

Hi!

I'm almost finished the controller, this now missing only make the connection to the LEDs.

Last Sunday, I concluded the connection for the 3 temperature sensors, relay (timer1, timer2, chiller and heater) and 4 dosing pumps and all were successfully tested.

I got some doubts on some points:

-The pin 1 which disables the FAN is not working or I'm not doing it right, it keeps activated the cooler all the time, I tested leaving.
even with the temperature below the variable starting the cooler with temperatures above 30 degrees it keeps activated cooler, I inverted the logic to verify that the drive was not reversed however continued on.
also tested 20:00 where all the LEDs are off and the cooler was still active.
How can I check better? it's a problem?

-I realized that the sensors screen the temperature displayed is different from the initial ferduino screen, and an update delay where every five seconds has an update and the value gets closer to the real.
Is that so?
In screen sensor

Image

water temp is 24º and in main screen is 27º

Image

it is normal? how best to calibrate?
when I click calibrate it back to the main screen, this correct?

another doubt is on the graph of temperature, not being drawn the line.

Image

I checked the SD and had the TXT files, removed the file and ferduino recreated the files and LOGTDIA.TXT in the last 5 lines he had the temperature values, but did not show in the graph.

Hugs to all.

Hi!

To use pins 0 and 1 as output is needed comment out this line on setup:

Serial.begin(38400);


In "home screen" you have an average of 12 values and this value is updated to each 60 seconds.

On menu "Search probes" you have the temperature instantaneous.

water temp is 24º and in main screen is 27º


It can be normal if on meanwhile the probe was touched.

Leave the probe in water to see the temperature is normalized.

The function to calibrate isn't done.

The graph seems working, you can see a magenta line. Wait some time, the graph have 1 pixel to each 6 values (6 minutes).

Best regards.

Thx for all again Fernando.

Other doubt, i use this sensor, follow IMG:

For saltwater need make a protect a INOX?
What is the best material to protect without losing the effectiveness of the sensor.?

Thx Again.

Muito obrigado pelo incentivo do projeto e por nunca deixar de ajudar nas duvidas, consegui com sua ajuda fazer todo o projeto funcionar e espero que esteja a contento, sempre faço questão de incentivar outros e mostrar o seu projeto e site.
Obrigado.

Is better add silicone to protect it.

P.S. É um prazer poder ajudar. O seu projeto está ficando muito bom.
