Hello everyone,
My name is Anthony and I am new to the Arduino Realm. I would like to do a project that will consist of 8 Relays that will operate 8 Air 3 position Valve solenoids. The Arduino needs to read 4 sensors of air pressure up to 200PSI. I also what this to be controlled by blue tooth and wireless internet. I also would like to control this Arduino thru Iphone or Ipad using OSCTouch. I also would like to be able to expend Relay control and Sensors later. 4 sensors will control the Valve solenoids depending on which button or trigger I press on the Iphone or I pad. All on a 12V system. Can anyone tell me the required Arduino type and shields I would need to buy?
An Uno will handle most of it. The problem is that most of the relay shields only have 4 relays.
So, do some Googling and see if you can find a shield with more relays on it, or see if the 4 relay shields can have the relays allocated to different pins so that you can stack 2 shields.
Keep in mind that you can always use a relay board module that isn't of the Arduino shield format. The following is a 8 relay module that is not hard to wire to a arduino board using just wires.
Great I did not know they had stuff out there like that.
Next question.
I want to control every thing through my Iphone but don't want to have to be on the internet to do it. Will Blue Tooth work or can I create a a net from the phone to the adruino wireless? Sorry for the Newbie questions.
