DIY Automatic reef water testing machine

- I made automatic water testing device for the reef tank. It is controlled by Raspberry Pi and Lego Mindstorms EV3. It is possible to test Alkalinity, Magnesium, Phosphates and Nitrates - these test kits use liquid reagents.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me: macmike@macmike.sk.
I'm impressed you made this with just a lego mindstorm EV3, and the raspberry pi of course.
You're extremely sharp and I wish you luck with your work. Really NICE!!!
Hello just wanted to say great video and this seems like a perfect thing to add to a reef tank for an owner the likes to travel. Do you have a website or a build blog on this I quite like the idea but would be great if there was more detail like a parts list the code and photos that show the machine in more detail
Wow, great piece of engineering. Very nice work
Stop!!! This is incredible
That first plunge, damn.
Reefbot? I'll buy one for $400, but not $900, keep working on it. 👍
Impressive.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Great work. Very smart!
Nice job, cool
Amazing! 👏👏👏
This works simpler than I expected! Did you account for the volume of fluid in the needle? I think a second version (or if someone else where to build one) should be based on a cheap HBot printer, that might reduce the costs a little.
Hello, think you can do a tuto? Can you tel me more about the price to this concept DIY ? :) very nice job !
Old. Video. But we all know what kid in class this guy was! He is also the one guy you pray hires you cause dudes definitely got the boss level job
So Awesome!!! did you still use this DIY project?
Unfortunately no. It was not that reliable enough. It was mostly a proof of concept, it would probably require som better parts to be made of to be really that useful.
How did you build the stirring thing?
Small DC motor with 3D printed magnet holder. Magnet spins and in the veil there is a small stirring capsule.
How do you review results?
Result are processed by PHP app running on Raspberry Pi. It is also used to control all the other stuff in fish tank.
Looks like Reefbot.
GREAT JOB!!! Are you going to commercialize this product, or open source? Why do you use a camera over a color sensor? What software are using to do the picture comparison?
There is a commercial product that does the same job but much more reliable - Reefbot: www.reefkinetics.com/product/reefbot/ Be sure to have a look at it. And yes, I used Raspberry Pi camera and software is all my own written mostly in PHP and some Python.
@@macmikehobby657 no github repo?
MacMikeHobby will you make the code public? I would like to build my own but my coding skills are nonexistent
