A project log for Automatic Self Cleaning Filter (Liquid)

Low Cost & Automated,using Atmega328P (Arduino) as it's brain. Controls Solenoid valve and DC Motor, by monitoring pressure inside.

Well, After carrying out all the necessary calculations to choose right component, it's time to design schematics.

I decided to use Diptrace, to Draw Schematics and PCB.

I really love this CAD tool, It won't take much time to learn this tool. And it is full of some cool features. Am planning on to write a blog about this.

In Last log, I discussed about driving and power supply circuits. There isn't much to mention about MCU and circuit around.

Atmega328P (DIP) running on 16MHz Xtal and Reset button, thats all.

- INLET Valve is always going to stay on, in Idle & Clean Modes.

- So I have not used special driver circuit (Running directly on +12V Power Supply), for INLET valve.

- Terminal Block Connector are provided for connecting Solenoid Valves and DC Motors over long wires.
