The Tutor specifes her (apparatus) just below the Comments section. I already have the majority of the components, but I believe that if I purchase 6 particular components from Core Electronics, I should be ‘good-to-go’.
Just wondering if someone could please review my (attached) part Table, and advise whether or not I’ve selected the correct/workable Core Electronics components? The main query I have is whether I can get away with the cheaper (non-Arduino brand) microcontroller (first hyperlink)? But I would also like, if possible, someone to confirm if I’ve mached the remaining 5 required components, correctly or if I should consider any potential issues, e.g. the listed Core Electronics specs for the Water Pump are slightly (?) higher than the listed specs that the Tutor is using?
Great project to get your thumbs dirty PS: I’m keen to see what you make with that Pi as well.
Yeah, the two different Arduino boards electrically will be the same, its just that the Official Arduino are guaranteed to work with all of the support material (both will work though).
Yeah, all of the parts look good to go, one recommendation that I would have is swapping out the 9V battery plug adapter for this adjustable plugpack that will let you keep the project working a lot longer.
You might have to make a few changes to your code here and there but the project will end up the same, if you need a hand with any of it we’re here to help!
Liam.
I’ve ordered the components. Regarding the power supply, I found a 9V mains supply at my home, so I’ll use this if required. But thanks for bringing the consideration to my attention.
