Still have a ways to go on getting my fish pond finished but I have got a few thing done.
- The hole is dug. 2. The bridge is completed 3. Pump, fountain and most of the lights are bought.
- The controller is prototyped and program written. Have the rock and brick but still need good liner.
Has 6 buttons.
Button 1 - Sequence the Fountain Lights
Button 2 - Sequence the Pond Lights
Button 3 - Sequence the Waterfall Lights
Button 4 - Sequence the Rope Lights
Button 5 - Sequence the Flood Lights
Button 6 - Turn the Pump On / Off
Has one Probe for water level detection
Has photo resistor to detect ambient light
Has 2x16 IC2 LCD display
Has 2 each relay boards consisting of 8 relays on each board
May add temperature and proximity later with a few other things.
I have a metal bridge that will be under water to hold the fountain pump and lights. Its 12 feet in length and strong enough to walk on for maintenance. I used an old plow disc to make the fountain light fixture. The pond lights will sit on a shelf around the pond. Rope lights will enhance the bridge and lope lights will lay inside and outside the berm of the pond that will be paved with flat stones. The pond will be primarily on one side or the bridge and a bog area will accompany the waterfall with flood lights to illuminate the pond area and the bog area for maintenance. A water solenoid will keep the pond up to operating level.
