Automated relay control system (Arduino)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am looking for a freelancer who can create an automated relay control system using Arduino. The system should be able to automate a predefined process.
Purpose:
- The desired purpose for the automated relay control system is to operate a set of 10 valves in a system we are developing. We wish to test, validate and refine the system and the process before we implement a full industrial control system so this should be a cheap and configurable implementation.
Requirements and Features:
- The system should have the ability to control and automate 10 valves connected to relays.
- It should be able to turn combinations of valves on and off according to pre-defined process.
- The system should be customizable and allow for easy configuration of the valve combinations and the process itself.
- The system is completely offline. All interaction with the system shall be done using a physical interface (uSD card for instance). Ideally the process setup shall be done in a separate file like a text file or csv so changes to the process are easy without the need to compile, flash etc.
- There are different phases for the process. For each phase the main pump shall be turned off for a defined time (e.g. 30s) and the the valves switched to a predefined combination. After the defined time, the main pump is turned on and runs for a predefined time.
- There will be a few programs. Each program is a sequence of phases. The use shall have the ability to run a program or to select and run a specific phase.
- TBD - The system should also allow for manual operation (e.g. buttons).
Skills and Experience:
- The ideal freelancer should have experience in Arduino programming and automation projects. We are open to other suggestions (non Arduino).
- Experience in relay control systems is desirable.
- The freelancer should have intermediate level programming skills and be able to handle the complexity involved in developing the Arduino system.
Products:
1. Code
2. PCB layout for ordering on a service like JLBPCB (unless the cirquit is simple enough)
3. wiring diagram
4. BOM (modules, relays etc. from a descent manufacturer)
If you have the required skills and experience, and are interested in this project, please submit your proposal.
