For personal interest and for use with the MoistureMatic Sensor I designed a Peristaltic Pump. Using components I had I was able to create a pump, that would produce a low output flow. This was the design requirement as over watering plants was a criteria. 

​

Learned:

​

How to design a Peristaltic Pump and using the correct geometric tolerances in order for the system to work. Trial and error allowed me to produce a pump that worked. 

​

Equipment Used:

• Arduino UNO

  • C++ Programming​

• Peristaltic Pump Design

• Enclosure Design

  • Fusion360 CAD and 3D Printed

• Skateboard Bearings

• Silicon Tubing
