Hi. The good thing about not drinking at weddings is that you remember to subscribe to UA-cam channels! Some cool stuff on here! Spencer! 👍🏻
Hello Spencer! Thanks, glad you remembered. :)
Wow, pretty useful project, I like it. And your garden is beautiful
Thank you.
12V solenoid valves are the way to go, cheap and are simple on/off.
Pretty much, Solenoid valves are dirt cheap and easily found at just about any hardware store. For what you paid for the servo alone you could of bought multiple 12v solenoids with hose hookups built in.
@@nikushim6665 How much are they? I must be looking in the wrong places.
@@TheRainHarvester About 10 bucks or less depends on type. You can bulk order them off aliexpress for half the price though.
Do not use delay() in your code, during delays you can't read time and temperature. Instead use timer to control on/off duration.
Can you make a video to show how you design and model the 3d parts?
I'm no expert at 3D modelling. My CAD models are not 'well expressed'. There is a lot of failing before you see the final project.
very nicely done! one of the most valuable 3d printed "thing" :)
Nice Project!
I think you forgot to show how you set the actual time in the RTC. :)
Thanks Esprit1711, and yes you are correct - I did forget! I have just updated the code with instructions at the top on how to set the date and time using the DS3231_Simple library. Thanks for pointing this out. :)
gj but i wanna ask why dont u use solenoid valve ? and for iot esp8266 or esp32 isint it better way for home iot/automation etc
Hi Plazma. I chose not to use a solenoid valve to reduce the required amount of current to open the valve. A servo can be powered easily via the Arduino Nano and once the valve is opened the energy requirement drops back down to idle levels, a solenoid would need energising throughout the watering period. An ESP8266 or ESP32 would be great for connecting it with other devices or remote control but I wanted to keep this project simple. If you do swap the Arduino for an ESP32 similar I'd love to see the program you write for it.
Is it possible to get housing box in stores
Pls make a vedio on iron man helmet
I did not find your code at your specified address. May you re update the code ?
to my mind not so good idea connect servo in direct to arduino, coz a current of mg996 up to one ampere or little bit higher. better use external power for servo and arduino, and capacitor in parallel
Please can you answer my comment from your UA-cam counter video pls. The one about the error
Hello, sorry but I've been busy finishing of this project. Now it's complete I'll see what I can do to help you out. :)
I've posted a suggestion for you on your comment at the other video. I hope it solves your problem. Lewis.
I liked your Project but solution could be simpler with a selenoid Valve
It has Come to my mind that issue must be the current of the selenoid Valve I guess right?
Yes, you're correct. A solenoid valve was my first thought as well. The servo draws much less current.
Why don't you use a solenoid valve?
Hi Lewis , Great project , one of the great things about this project is that it is a full flow valve which would also work with low pressure water supplies e.g. from water but at an allotment. I've looked at a lot of the solenoid valves and they appear to be more geared at mains pressure, the full flow ones are 12v and pretty expensive. I've been sketching out a similar project but looking for a reliable NC (normally closed valve that would auto close if power was lost ) this is important in case you were on holiday and didn't want to come back to a marshy garden :). I'm thinking there would have to be some sort of spring that would be strong enough to return the valve to closed once power was off , but power would need to be kept on to the servo whilst the valve was open (back to the solenoid situation where power is required to open the valve). I think this should be ok with a metal geared servo but getting the spring strength correct would be key. I'll maybe get to it one day :). thanks for sharing your work
you must do better soldering or you will have problem in some monthes or years...
The code and wiring diagram are not available. Could you reshare please. Thanks
HI Jean-Michel, thank for pointing that out. I've now added both back to the site where they should be: www.diymachines.co.uk/make-your-own-automatic-garden-waterer
