A Low Cost Approach to Graphical Waterfall

[dmathias]

This is totally awesome! I have been reading and am intrigued. I am a controls engineer and have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. Is there any way to get a parts list and/or instructions for putting a project like this together? I would love to do this, but not sure where or what parts I will need... Also, can the software/hardware be purchased to do this?
Amazing work!

What can I do to get the software download?
Which costs do you pay? (PAYPAL?)
We will reply by e-mail, please reply

Can you say us the specifications of the solenoid valves you used like,
Pressure of pipes,orifices;
diameter of input and output pipes.

Please take this into concern and reply.

Man how did you send the data from the PC to the micro-controller ....
I mean suppose the image transformed into 1,0's then what to do exactly...
how to send these into the micro-controller.
like... sending a matrix of 1,0's from PC and receive them in the micro-controller then what.
please here is my e-mail if you want to discuss more

Guys i am soon going to post step-by-step procedure with videos and will share all my programming electronics with this community.

This is just a video to show how the Proteus, Virtual Serial Port Driver, and VB6 interact without using any hardware.
1- VB6 Graphical Waterfall sent a "byte" to the Proteus.
2- ArduinoUno recieve the 'byte' with a special protocol and send it to shift register 74HC595.
3- Arduino then send the same byte back to the VB6 software. which verify it and send the next byte.

All this happening virtually.

some more updates...
A simulation of the graphical waterfall that will get the designs from SD card and send to the solenoids. LCD 20x4 shows basic information. The designs can be repeated . The programming was done in a way to reject the files which having wrong data and store the files name in the EEPROM. Total 50 filenames can be stored in EEPROM. The time delay between the rows of drops can be adjusted using potentiometer.

and finally going to order few boards:

And Finally i received my printed circuit boards (double sided PCB) from China.Love the quality and time.

any updates?

[Khalid]

Ordered the microsd card ... I will post the updates very soon..

Hi Khalid, very cool project! Are there any updates?

Busy in other projects but soon i will display a 16valve version and we will discuss each aspects in detail..
