Hydropi – Parts List

 

Here’s a list of all the materials that I used to make the Hydropi Pool Monitor.


The Hardware

Sensors Connected

 

The 4 items above can also be purchased in a variety of kits

 

Sensors

 

 

Atlas Scientific Sensor Circuits

Atlas Scientific Sensors

 

These can also be bought as kits that include the circuit, BNC socket, sensor and calibration liquids all in one

 

 pH Kit

 

 Electrical Conductivity (EC) Kit

 

 Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) Kit

Atlas Scientific Temperature KitTemperature Kit

 

Atlas Scientific’s documentation states that their pH, ORP and EC circuits will work with any off the shelf BNC probes, I haven’t tried connecting any other probes to the circuits so I can’t say whether they will work or not but if your budget doesn’t stretch to the Atlas probes the Neptune series of probes are cheaper and appear to have good reviews.

 

 

Note that some soldering may be required to add header pins to these circuit boards depending on how you decide to connect them to your Pi. Here are my recommendations of the best value temperature controlled soldering irons.

 

The 2 items above are now incorporated in one board providing both power isolation and sensor circuit mounting, this will free up a lot of breadboard space and also save you money, you will need one for each sensor you are connecting.

 

Electronic Components

 

 

AC Power

 

Working with AC current is Dangerous, Please exercise extreme caution and preferably consult a professional to make any high voltage connections. Always disconnect from the mains when not in use and mount in a secure sealed plastic container.

 

  • 4 Way relay module
  • Surface Mount AC power socket (Country specific, required to plug in the Pi power supply)

 

For the following 3 items I basically bought one of these and broke it down to use it’s parts, I’m sure that something similar is available in most countries with the required socket type.

 

When it comes to AC power the required items are quite country specific so I have only placed links as examples, you will need to do your own research to find the appropriate parts for your project,  and again if you are not use to working with AC power then please get the advice of a professional.

 

Miscellaneous

 

 

Tools (Optional)

 

 

Software

 

 

These are all the items that I used to create this project, obviously there are other possible arrangements, if you have thought’s feel free to leave a comment below.
