Hi im new here and i just got me a Arduino Trinket (Link here) my project is to Water 8 big Wooden Pot and 2 plastic and have it run 2 Motor pumps came off a Ant Killer spray the Main Q&A here is how can i set up more then 2 Moisture Sensor and Power a pair of Motors can any on Suggest a Code and Schematics and Recommend a Transistor to drive 2 motors For me Please this be my first Out Field run in Summer 2015 where i work ... earlier i was Getting Grumpy Gilz didnt know why it didnt want to load up till i found out i had to put the Programmer to USBtinyISP & i had to press the Reset to go in Program Mode
Ok. I guess my first question is what do you know about how to use the Trinket ?
Do you know how to upload sketches ?
Do you know how to control the I/O ?
Do you know the usual method to drive pumps from an arduino ? (Transistors, relays, mosfets etc...)
Can you post links for your sensors and pumps or SOME KIND OF SPECS (voltage, current etc) ?
Im Learning
i Understand and Modify & Uploading
Arduino Sketches differ had to Change the code a bit to on Trinket I/O style
Transistor i have may not handle the 5v Load feeding the 2 motors at the same time 1 Transistor 2x motors
Parts in need 2 DC DC 0.9 to 5v 600ma 1x for Motors 1x Arduino Trinket Solar cell is a 2.5V Charging a 1x 1.2 700mah Bat the Sensor is 2 Metal Rods Link Here
