PCB for pic microcontroller

Question

I want to make an automatic irrigation system using pic microcontroller,so can anyone send me PCB design & program for pic microcontroll for My irrigation system?

Circuit diagram will be some how like this.

So pls send me the PCB design & program.

Hello,

I think for you to get assistance with your project you would need to give a lot more information than you have currently supplied. Other than a circuit diagram which I assume you have found somewhere rather than creating yourself, you haven't given any details on what the required function of the irrigation system is and what is required to be presented on the display, how the user would interact with it to control the system etc. Where did the schematic come from? Are you sure that is meets your requirements?

I think you have unrealistic expectations with regards to what you will receive based upon what you have asked, even if you had supplied enough information to make it possible. Why would people spend their time to designing you a PCB and writing the PIC code to operate your irrigation system and just give it to you based on a 3 sentence post on a forum? We don't know you, your background, what the intended purpose for this is, etc. Why should we invest our time in doing your work?

You would have a much better chance of getting assistance if you were trying to do this yourself and asking for help when you were stuck with something but to expect people will just do your design for you for free is naive.

Best Regards,

I agree, nobody is ever going to just do a project for you. You havent even included what IC1 and IC2 are. Sure you hinted that IC2 was a PIC micro but which one? Im going to assume that IC1 is a water level indicator, if you hunted for one that just switched an output on/off depending on the water level then you wouldnt need the PIC micro and the LCD display at all. Just connect its output through to T1 (possibly using a 555 timer to run the pump a little bit longer to add some additional threshhold).

I concur, the members here are not in it to do you work for you but are very open to help guide you. If you dont know how do design a PCB from this simple schematic then perhaps you should look to buying a ready built board, perhaps a SONOFF Mains relay based on an ESP8266 that can be programed using an Arduino IDE this way you dont need to worry about the hardware or the Mains that could easily kill you if you're not familiar with hardware and electrical circuits My other suggestion would be to start from the basics, get a Microchip dev kit and learn how to use it first, including interfacing things like LEDs and low voltage Motors, then wen your good at that, proceed to more advanced things.

If you're not fussy on it being PIC, here's an Arduino or Raspberry Pi version all done, and the software is really nice to use. All open source, so you can build the hardware yourself if you prefer. https://opensprinkler.com/ All the source code and PCB designs are on Github: https://github.com/OpenSprinkler I used it as a basis for my custom Raspberry Pi add-on PCB and had it running my sprinkler system all season.
