If your building this you want a freshmatic without motion sensor
I’m new to hydroponics and to microcontrollers, but will be interested in
controlling the pump via an Arduino, but was curious what the time interval

Nice work! Love the way you swap the soap from one bottle to another one
exactly the same ^^ Thank you very much for sharing this, it has helped me
a lot!
it leaked a little, probably could have been solved by using a zip tie to
tighten the hose to the plastic, i’ve got a perastaltic pump version coming
soon, stay tuned!

Nice video. One thing: dykes would probably have taken that plastic off
without…you know…melting it into the air and all.
