Arduino DIY Dosing Pump with blackout alert and containers alert

[joyz76]

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you my Arduino DIY Dosing Pump.
I worked on them for some time so i have many versions of it, but the final one is great and can dose with a great precision (0.1 ml).
Here a pic of the finale work:

Build on Nodemcu, a ESP8266 chip based they are controlled via Web:

You can also log all your test results on the website and have graphs

You have an alarm when your containers are going out of liquids:

And you have alarms on blackout too:

You can find all the step by step instruction and the software at: Joyreef
Feel free to ask for details, or help.

Hey thats pretty awesome! Do you have more pictures or a more detailed writeup on the build? Also what are you using for containers? I just picked up 3 800ml voss glass water bottles.
Are your level low alerts based on dosing size and times or is there a float, visual sensor?
Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments.
You can find all the step by step instruction, with all the components you need, and with the software to install on: http://www.joy-reef.com/en
You can see a part of it here:

There is no sensor for the containers, but a simple calculation, dose by dose. If you have 5 liters of liquid and dose 100ml you will have 4.9 liters

You don't need to be ALWAYS connected to internet. The dosing pump get the time when it find a internet connection, otherwis it starts from midnight.
So if you have a power failure and no internet connection on reboot, it will start from midnight UNTIL he can connect and retrieve the right time.
Feel free to ask more details

Hello my friend you can find the .bin file to upload on your nodemcu and all the instruction step by step, for free on www.joy-reef.com/en.
Sketch is not opensource.
