Hello everyone,

Here I want you to show me my new project.
Just started to create a simple web interface dosing pump system.

Its working with a Raspberry PI that's running the website and give commands to an Arduino that's controlling the dosing stepper motors.
Each Arduino with an CNC Shield can handle 3 dosing stepper pumps, so if you want to run 6 dosing pumps you will need 2 Arduino's with CNC Shield.
In total you're able to connect up to 12 dosing pumps with 4 Arduino's.

Features:
Keeps track of remaining liquid in container and send alarm true Telegram if under threshold
Easy calibrating
Easy scheduling, just fill in your starttime, endtime, amount in ML for one day and how many doses.
Possible to schedule an auto water change
Speed can be adjusted per dose pump (Pump type B16 up to 200ml/min and B25 up to 500ml/min)
Change pump direction
No need to solder, everything is plug and play

The backend for the software is almost finished and is at testing stage, but the GUI is still need to be fine-tuned.
Also the 3D case need to be redesign, at this moment with the lid on the top aim not able to screw all the bolts in place.

Parts:
24V 2A Powersupply
Rapberry PI with WIFI
Arduino UNO
CNC Shield V3
3 x TMC2209 stepper driver
3 x Kamoer KCM 24V-3 Rollers (B16 up to 200ml/min) (B25 up to 500ml/min)

Software:
GRBL v1.1 (Software for Arduino)
ReefTankDoser (Software for Raspberry)

Here are some pictures of the prototype:
