Arduino Irrigator Parts
The following components are needed to build the GreenSense irrigator device...
Monitor Parts
Monitor Parts
The GreenSense irrigator device is built on top of the monitor device. You will need the monitor parts as well as the ones shown below.
MOSFET Module
MOSFET Module
The MOSFET module allows an arduino to switch on/off higher power devices such as pumps.
Voltage Step-Down (Buck) Regulator
Voltage Step-Down (Buck) Regulator
The voltage buck regulator reduces the input voltage (eg. 12v) down to the voltage required for the pump (eg. 3-6v for the pump shown below).
Pump
Pump
Either a pump or valve can be used for irrigation.
DC Jack Power Splitter Cable
DC Jack Power Splitter Cable
Connects the system power source to both the arduino nano expansion board and the MOSFET module (which drives the pump).
Twin Wires
Twin Wires
Connects the MOSFET module to the voltage buck regulator.
Female DC Jack with 2 Wires
Female DC Jack with 2 Wires
Connects the input power source (from the DC jack splitter cable) to the input of the MOSFET module.
Male DC Jack with 2 Wires
Male DC Jack with 2 Wires
Connects the output of the voltage buck regulator to the pump.
