Hi, I'm new to the Arduino world. I'm looking for tips for an automatic irrigation project.
In this project I wanted to be able to turn on the watering automatically through realtime clock, and to water "manually". All this through menus and submenus.
I have not done anything yet, because I do not know how to do Menus. I have seen several projects with menus but I can not understand them.
My idea is to use LCD i2c 20x4, solenoid valve with relay and some realtime clock.
Can you help me with some tips?

I think some of us can if your provide details.
Do you have a realtime clock (RTC)? Which one?
Where are the menus to be displayed? Serial monitor? LCD (which one)?
How are you going to put information in the system (if needed)? Serial monitor? Buttons?
What are you using to control the water? A pump and relay? A solenoid valve?
I don't think that you answered all the questions that I asked.
UKHeliBob:
What have you tried so far ?
Can you read the time from the RTC, print the time to the Serial monitor, test the time and print messages at particular times ?
Until you can do that much don't even think about menus, submenus and controlling watering systems
Any news on this? Learn to crawl before you learn to walk.
encoder menu
if you are looking for a menu, this has a good example
