Automated Green House Blog:13.1 - PH Delivery, Organic Egg Shell Based [Mech Portion]

It is a good idea to go organic with PH buffers, it works out quite cheap aswell. I worked with commercial chemical buffers in the past and have had a few finger print removing accidents, This Blog will cover how to make an safe and organic PH buffer and how to automate the delivery of it.

Paulo also loves his 3D printing and is a big fan of opensource, so there may be a open source 3D printed version available soon!

 

Like I mentioned in the video, there will be a upcoming Blog post on a automated self learning control system for PH management [just need to find a PH probe for cheap].

 

So Keep watching for updates and let me know what else you would like to see, the main home page is:

    Hey DAB,

    I'm using a little handheld PH probe at the moment and adjusting "weekly" [When I have time weekly, it can be months sometimes]. It would be much better if we could offload this task onto the MCU because it is one of the main things new comers to aquaponics struggle with.

    Depending upon how often you need to test the Ph, look into the little paper strips used in swimming pools and hot tubs.

     

    They are one time use, but should be good enough for what you want to do.

     

    Or, you can set up a chemical pipet with phenolphalene drops to check PH the old fashion way.
