I'm building an Arduino project that will automatically water my plants. I'm using gravity and a valve that will control the water flow. I have a problem with the tubing. I need to attach clear tubing so the water will flow down to the plant. I'm new to this so I'm not sure how to select a valve that will fit the tubing. I've linked some valves and I was wondering if anyone could help me choose a valve and tubing that would fit.
Thank you
Do you choose the tubing based on the size of the valve opening?
Pick the tubing that your project needs. 1/4", 3/16", whatever. Get tubing adapters to connect them. How much water do you need to move - I'm thinking not a lot based on gravity feed. So a small diameter hose will work fine. Go to a plumbing store (or big-box hardware store) for the parts to connect the hose to the valve.
By the way, you can get that same valve for less directly from Adafruit. You'll also need a resistor, (darlington) transistor, diode and a 12V power supply to hook it to an Arduino.
