Upcoming Features

by

I want to make this post as a “TODO” list of features that can be added or updated for this pump.

Features to add

  1. controlling the pump remotely, and by remote control I mean:
    • control by 4-20mA
    • PWM
    • HIGH/LOW states
    • Bluetooth connection
    • Ethernet connection
  2. a moisture sensor for plant watering.
  3. remote control/monitoring the pump via web application, for plant watering/aquarium and other uses.
  4. adding a temperature sensor(to display temperature in aquarium for example).

Features that needs some attention

The first is the pump doesn’t check if it can pump the given quantity in the given interval, so if you just give any value without calculation, you will get a wrong quantity, example:

The pump can pump 200 ml/min, but if you set the fixed quantity program to:

  • quantity: 200ml
  • interval: 10 sec
  • repeat: 10 times

Here it will pump 10 sec but 200ml will not be reached, again other 10sec without reaching the 200ml repeating this 10 times and it will stop, so don’t get surprised with the final result!

The second is the pumped value is displayed when the pump finishes 1 cycle, example:

  • 10ml each 10sec
  • it will display 10, 20, 30ml each time a 10ml is pumped and not updating 1,2,3..10
