Remote Aquaponics Sensor Buoy
Project Members
Project Goal
Deploy a buoy with sensors that monitors chemical concentrations in an aquaponics system fish tank.
The buoy will have its own power production and storage capabilities.
It should provide daily updates from anywhere in the world.
Current Plan
Power
Solar Panel - Due to latitude (1.5
o south), the panel can be laid flat.
-
Mintyboost (Regulator from battery for 5V devices)
-
Due to Li-Ion sensitivity to weather conditions and its cost, look into using NiCd or Sealed Lead Acid
Control
Diavolino need 4.5V - 5.5V. It will work well with 5V regulator connected to the batter charger load terminal
