Coolest school project EVER!!!

As some of you may know I am approaching the end of my schooling for Electronics Engineering.  As a final project we have been asked to design and build a project that utilizes the things we have learned throughout the program.  I knew right away what I wanted to do.  A DIY Arduino powered Reef Controller!!!  Not exactly an easy or cheap task but it easily covers many things I have learned over the last few years. 
The plan is start simple and just be able to program outlets based on a real time clock as well as float switches.  Eventually I want to incorporate things like, ph control, conductivity monitoring, webserver, and a touch screen display.
I just received the micro controller today and have been having tons of fun messing around with it.  I can't wait to put it to work!

 

Awesome! Will you do a build thread? I'm following along!

 

Thats awesome Jeremy. Just be sure to remember us when you make it big lol.

 

Good idea.  It would be fun documenting progress here.  There is a ton of work to do but I am very excited about it.

 

That's awesome man, can't wait to see how it all comes together.
