1 00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:02,560 Let's go ahead and do some testing. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:10,550 I've got my chance with what, containing what's in the water reservoir with the pump submerged in it. 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,950 And then I've got my terrarium on the other side and I've got the hose from the pump going into the 4 00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:23,310 turning from the lid, drip another couple of holes here for the wires, for the sensor and for the 5 00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:24,280 hose itself. 6 00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:33,540 For now, I've got my power supply for the pump turned off because I want to check the value that is 7 00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:42,030 coming out of the humidity sensor for the soil so that I can do a bit of calibration there before I 8 00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:44,980 attempt to turn on and power the pump. 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,690 So having a look at my readings in the dashboard, you can see that this soil humidity is now at eight 10 00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:52,920 hundred and sixteen. 11 00:00:53,460 --> 00:01:01,950 And that indicates like a test that the soil with my with my finger, just a very lamen type of soil 12 00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:06,530 testing and it feels moist and not a gardener. 13 00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:14,250 So I don't really know how much humidity or how much moisture the soil needs to have for my plan, which 14 00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:17,940 is a settlement to be comfortable. 15 00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:21,120 So I don't really know if I need to add more water or not. 16 00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:27,570 This is not what this course is about, depending on the plan that you want to raise and maintain in 17 00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:28,350 your terrarium. 18 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,030 A bit of reading on the topic, but for now, let's say that we actually need to get some water in there. 19 00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:42,960 So I would use my pump threshold control here widget to increase the. 20 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:55,450 Setting to a number, maybe close to eight hundred, so around hearsay, so now what will happen is 21 00:01:55,450 --> 00:01:59,290 you can see the pumps that, according to the flow, should be turned on. 22 00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:04,390 But because no power from the power supply, the pump is not turned on. 23 00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:07,360 I'm going to supply power in a moment. 24 00:02:07,930 --> 00:02:12,310 So he'll go at age 17 for the humidity sensor. 25 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,120 The threshold is eight hundred at the pump state is on. 26 00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:23,470 And because I want to test this with that actually flooding my terrarium, I'm going to use a glass. 27 00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:30,630 So I am going to get the hose from the pump into my glass of water. 28 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:40,850 And see how the pump reacts to me, turning it on and providing power at the same time, of course, 29 00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:48,440 the the humidity, the value will not change because I'm not getting any actual water coming into the 30 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,070 terrarium. 31 00:02:49,070 --> 00:02:50,660 But I want to test the pump first. 32 00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:52,190 OK, here we go. 33 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,600 I'm going to turn on power. 34 00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:57,150 And see what happens. 35 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,710 He had to pump it to go start. 36 00:03:10,310 --> 00:03:11,360 All right, perfect. 37 00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:19,400 All right, so we had the pump working for five seconds, it pumped this much water in that amount of 38 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,660 time. 39 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:26,120 So this is how much water will go into your terrarium in the five seconds at the pump is running so 40 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,140 that it works. 41 00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:30,950 So what I'll do next is I'm going to. 42 00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:35,480 Move the hose from the pump into the terrariums. 43 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:42,160 Because I also want to see how the value that is reported by the committee since it changes depending 44 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,630 on how much water is being pumped in it. 45 00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:53,740 So to make this work, I'm going to change the threshold to make it just a little bit higher. 46 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:59,490 Then the soil humidity, the soil community 47 00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,810 spirit, too much, make it up to eight hundred and forty. 48 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Make it actually slightly less to see if I can trigger the pump to start. 49 00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:36,740 There's a bit of work went went through, you can see that the soil humidity dropped immediately. 50 00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:39,620 All right, let's do this one more time. 51 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:45,650 I'm going to drop the threshold to a little less. 52 00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:48,450 We get paid. 53 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:59,390 Five second flow and look at how fast the soil humidity changed. 54 00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:05,510 It now increases slightly as the water is being is dissipating through the soil. 55 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:06,620 The. 56 00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:16,730 The pump that the hose is depositing or is getting the water to go very close to where the sensor is, 57 00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:27,470 so is that what is coming through the sensor that sensors that immediately and with its value drops 58 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:35,450 very quickly, but then as the water is dissipating around the soil, the humidity value increases. 59 00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:43,970 OK, so I'd say that the experiment worked and you were successful, at least it gives me the indication 60 00:05:43,970 --> 00:05:46,900 that everything is working as it should at this point. 61 00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:55,490 So to continue with my experimentation, I will go back to my D.C. motor and the. 62 00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:01,430 Consumer and get these jars of tuna the table.
