1. No asking how it was done in this thread, take it to general, or hardware or PM.
2. Please keep the pictures less then 500 pixels (width) in size.
3. Give some information on how it was done.
4. If you need web hosting, please e-mail me and I'll host your pictures.
5. Dead links will be deleted.
6. If you have a homepage with more pictures or details, please give it at the bottom.

These pictures are being hosted for Mike Troup, he made this and took them all. He has gone AWOL, but the project is so nice I decided to post pictures (so Mike, if you see this, drop me a line!!!).
Here is some other information about the project from Mike...
These pictures show many of the menu screens I created inorder to control my out
door fish pond. The processor is linked to everything at the pond
including the low voltage lighting, the waterfall pump, the back up
filters, the automatic valves to clean my filter, the automatic pond fill
valve which keeps the pond level constant, temperature sensors to measure
the air temp and the water temp, a pressure sensor to measure how much
pressure the waterfall pump is putting out, and of more interest to you, it
is also interfaced to the VFD display, and to the keypad. The keypad and
display are located in a screened in swing that sits across from the pond.
From the keypad and screen, the user can control all aspects of the pond,
as well as monitor the system parameters of the pond (temps, time until
filter is automatically cleaned, pressure of the pump, current time ect.)
I Used many features of the display including the digital outputs to
control a relay that turns on an outlet in the swing, a relay that turns on
spot lights at the pond, and an output that supplies the power to light the
LED's in the keypad so that the keys are visable at night. I also used the
bargraph feature to display how far my valves are open, and I used the
auto-off feature to turn the display off if the keypad has been inactive
for 5 minutes. I also used the large digits feature for some count downs,
but my pictures of that did not turn out well.

GLK12232-25
Controller:
AT89C51
Programming Language:
Assembler
Difficulty:
Rather difficult, time-consuming
Other:
love the memory of the LCD
What is it?
This piece of hardware is called: PC-Control-Unit v1.0. It is used to drive all extra fans and lights in a modded case. But of course, it has some extra features. Instead of using those ugly (no offence) switches or keypads, this unit uses a (ugly?  ) RF-remote.
Lets take a look at the specifications:
Specifications:
-
RF-remote up to 100m
-
Power-button replaced with code via RF-remote
-
Wake-up timer
-
Clock (time, alarm, date)
-
Reads temperatures (4 sensors)
-
Controls up to 8 fans or lights
-
LCD still usable with Windows-based software through RS232-interface
-
Upgradeable

All of the temperature sensors seen on the screen except CPU and Box comes from a piece of software i have developed called ThermoGamer. The program reads values from thermistors connected to the gameport and then calculates them into temperatures. The program can add custom sensors to Motherboard Monitor so you can put them on your LCD using LCDC or LCDstats or other similar software.

LK204-25
Controller:
Javelin Stamp
Programming Language:
Java
Difficulty:
Easy
Other:
n/a
Materials Needed:
Javelin Stamp, LCD...
Other Info:
We used the DS1620 temperature probe for all the information, 4 wires and 1 resistor, that's how easy it is. Source code and more information can be found
here...

| Moisture Control System |
|
|
UNIT:
GLK12232-25WBL
CONTROLLER:
PIC16C73
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE:
C
DIFFICULTY:
(UNKNOWN)
OTHER:
A Digital temperature sensor, moisture sensor, 2 slave units, a storm keypad a solid state relay and a water pump were added to the control system.
These pictures demonstrate our moisture control system. The idea behind the project was to incrporate a moisture sensor that will inherently turn the water pump off and on at appropriate moisture levels and monitor temperature of a specific soil. What better way to interface the system then by using a Matrix Orbital display. Maintaining the system was a microchip PIC16C73 microcontroller. It received data from the digital temperature sensor and the moisture sensor while sending data out to the display and the pump as required. A solid state relay was used to control the pump via the microcontroller. When the pump needed to be activated the microcontroller sent a "high" signal to turn it on and vice versa to turn it off.

Other Info: LCD displays distance to next obstacle, speed, wheel rpm, direction of travel and the state of each sensor.. it has also been programmed for a custom startup screen. LCD will eventually display battery voltage, distance to base station and other sensor info.
