sprinkler systems
Does anyone know of a sprinkler system that has some logic built into it?
I was thinking of a control system that would make use of some transducers that sense moisture levels and ensure that moisture levels stay within a certain range. The moisture level combined with the time of day would determine whether the sprinkler system is activated. Is there already a product out there to do this, or should I start designing my circuit now? Thanks, Matt |

Thanks, Matt The only one that I'm aware of is the rain sensor, and they usually don't work very well. -- I'll bring you precious contraband And ancient tales from distant lands. -Steve Earle- |

Make sure you measure moisture levels in the soil, and at the appropriate depth; no other measure is a good indicator. chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
