I'm working on a project (I got lots of these ), trying to come up with a solution to maintaining the pH level in my reservoir. I'm basing it around the Atmega328 microcontroller (think Arduino ) and trying to make it as set and forget as possible. I'm still in the planning stage here, but I've gotten to the point I need to start checking the interest in preordering PCBs. I put together a pretty presentation describing in more detail than I can do in a single post here.

Basically, I came up with a pH controller system for $200 per rez. Includes the controller with LCD display, pH probe, 2 dosing pumps for pH adjusting liquids and a stirring pump. If you want a detailed cost breakdown, http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhuK8wZLN6ibdGJIamx6ODZ5RVZLeGtSZmN0T1VXQlE&hl=en#gid=0. I'm not done with it yet, but it always takes a couple weeks to get people coordinated anyway, so I'm bringing it up now! Anybody want to get in on this?
