MrAqua Aquarium Controller

This project was based off the iAqua controller written by Dan Cunningham with new features and updates here.

Features

• Water temperature monitoring
  • Allows calibration
  • Automatic shutoff of heater if water exceeds setpoint
• Automatic water top-off
  • Float switch inputs for tank and reservoir
  • Set maximum run-time with alarm flagged if exceeded
• Feeding mode
  • Monitor time since last fed
  • Control outlets during feeding (ie turn off pumps)
• Light control
  • 6-channel PWM or IR control of e-series LED
  • 4 lighting levels (moonlight, sunrise, mid-morning and full daylight)
• Dosing
  • 3 channels
  • Individual settings for each channel
• 8 power outlet control
  • Manual control or set on/off times
  • Aux outlets can be set to cycle times (ie on 10 minutes every 2 hours)

Hardware

• Arduino Mega
• 320 x 240 LCD
• Arduino Mega TFT Shield (or custom shield below)
• 12V power supply
• 8 channel relay board
• DS18B20 temperature sensor
• Peristaltic pumps
• Float switch
• Submersible 12V pump
• (Optional)PCA9685 breakout board

Libraries

• Adafruit PWM Servo Driver
• Dallas Temperature
• Time Library
• Arduino IR Remote
• DS1307RTC
• SdFat
• TimeAlarms
• UTFT
• UTFT_SdRaw
• URTouch

Setup

If you are using an ecoxotic e-series LED set "lightCSP" to true, otherwise set it to false. If you are using a PCA9685 chip for PWM set boolean "PCA9685Installed" to true.
