PIC-based Watering Timer - EPE Online January 2004

Keep your plants in pristine condition before you PIC them!

This timer module is designed around a PlC16F84A to control a motorized water valve providing an automatic low pressure watering system for a greenhouse or garden. With little modification it can be used to control other devices.

It is stressed that this timer and its control valve are not intended for use on household mains water. It is designed to control the water feed from a low pressure rainwater butt and should only be battery powered.
