This Water Reservoir System is an embedded project designed to pump water to three different zones over the course of 24 hours, based on user input. Below is a video demonstration of the reservoir system running:
The user may specify start and stop times for the inlet pipe, pipes for zones 1, 2, and 3, in addition to specifying motor speeds controlling the rate of water distribution to each zone. We allow manual control of motor speed if specified by the user via a potentiometer. If the water reservoir is empty at any point during a run, the system halts, flashes white on the LED, and waits for a reset.
The system features a terminal to display time, current zone, motor PWM, motor RPM, and water depth.
A high-level design demonstrates the system:
