In this post I will show how to construct a SMS based water pump controller with automatic shutdown of pump when no water flow through the pump is detected. We will also construct another much simpler automatic dry run preventer circuit without GSM in the next half of the article. What is Dry Run in […]
Automation Projects
Control a Relay ON OFF Using SIM Card, Mobile Phone, and Arduino
This project I will explain how we can control a relay remotely using a SIM card and a normal mobile phone, with help of Arduino and a GSM module. The relay can be turned ON or OFF by sending an SMS or by making a phone call to the SIM card placed inside the GSM […]
7 Automatic Street Light Circuits [Using Relays and Solar Panel]
In this article I will elucidate 7 useful yet simple automatic street light circuits using 220 V relays and solar panel. All the presented circuits can be used for automatically switching a lamp ON during night time and OFF during day time. What is an Automatic Street Light System An automatic street light system is […]
Automatic Irrigation Circuit using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct an automated water irrigation system for small garden using arduino and soil moisture sensor. Introduction The proposed system can monitor the soil moisture level and when soil moisture goes below preset value, the 12V DC pump will be triggered for predetermined period of time. The status […]
Automatic Street Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct an Arduino automatic street light dimmer circuit, which can reduce its brightness when no vehicle is passing in the road to save power. Overview We will be exploring the methodology of sensing the vehicle or human being without false detection which may occur due to animals […]
Simple Tea Coffee Vending Machine Circuit
A simple tea, coffee vending machine circuit idea is explained here which allows a customer to access the beverage with a press of a button and by inserting a genuine 5 rupee coin. The idea was requested by Mr. Ramesh. Circuit Objective and Requirement I need the water puling mechanism like coffee vending machine if […]
