6) Hardware Requirements
The doser hardware must be hand built, as there really is nothing commercially available (as of this time) that has 10 pumps and / or has as many features available for full hydroponic automation. If you are serious about doing full hydropnic automation, you either pay an existing manufacture for this kind of setup and hope you get all the features you need, or build your self and know you have the features you want. THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT A CHEAP PROJECT BUILD!.. BUT NEITHER IS ANYTHING HYDROPONICS.
Click here to see basic wiring schematic. Please note this schematic does not show the Whiteboxes Tentacle Shield that stacks between Arduino and LCD shield, but does show the AtlasScientific circuits / BNC connections for pH and EC sensors.
