This section contains information about the parts used in the robot project.

The Micro-Controller x 1:

Arduino Mega ADK, it’s an open source board with an ATmega2560 microcontroller.
It will be programmed to control the machine and regulate everything in the system.

General Information:

Heat Sink x 2:

It’s an Intel E97375-001 Socket 775 Aluminum Heat Sink Fan.
It's a PC processor fan, to keep the solution/medium at normal temperatures and to cool the resistors.
In this case, we are using 2 of them.

Specifications:

• Aluminum heat sink
• 3.5-inch (90 mm) fan
• Power input: 12VDC, 0.60A
• Supports Socket 775 CPUs with 65W TDP

Beaker x 2:

A cylindrical container, which will contain the medium/solution.
Their capacity will range from 250ml to 400ml.

Small Water Pump x 1:

A water pump, to pump the solution across containers. It will use up to 5v~3.3v.
We will be using a simple handmade water-pump, which uses the following materials:

• Silicone Glue, as a Sealant
• A Small Capsule, about 3cm of diameter and 4.5cm of height
• A tiny Electrical Motor, enough to fill in the Capsule
• Rotating Blades, little enough to fit in the motor's axis
• Transparent Tube, About 0.5cm~1cm diameter and small thickness

LCD Display x 1:

We will use an LCD to display temperature and relevant data.
Its an 16x2 liquid crystal display.
It can display White text, and has a Blue background.
It's specifically a 16x2_KST1602B-W.
It employs a HD44780 parallel interface chipset.
Dimensions: 84 mm x 44 mm. And Uses About 5v.

UV LED x 4:

We are using UV LEDs, so they can expose the GFP reporter.

Features:

• T1 3/4 5mm clear lens
• 395-400 nm
• 100-180 mcd
• Voltage drop 3-3.6V operation

Adapter AC/DC wall-12VDC 2A x 1:

This will be our source of energy regarding the Micro-Controller and everything connected to it.
Can revieve input Voltage of 100 to 240VAC.

AG2412-B281(2A0F) Datasheet: http://www.phidgets.com/documentation/Phidgets/3024_0_Product_Manual.pdf

Adapter AC/DC wall-9VDC 650mA x 1:

This will be used as source of energy, in case the AC/DC wall-12VDC malfunctions.
It's also to replace the amount of amperage, if it turns out to be unnecessary.
Can take input Voltage of 100 to 240VAC.

Temperature Sensor Probe x 2:

Its a DS18B20 Programmable Resolution 1-Wire Digital Thermometer.
We will use this probes in order to measure the temperature of water.

Its power supply range is 3v~5.5V.
The temperature it can read, ranges between -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F).

Small Buttons x 4:

It's an AU-101.
Can take 12 Vdc, 50 mA, and has 4 terminals.

We will use this buttons, in order to interact with the LCD or Actuators, and Sensors.

Red & Black Tinned Wire x 2:

We will use at least up to 2m~4m to cover all connections, with both of them.

We will use resistors, in order to heat the medium or solution.
Can take up to 100~120v.

Relays x2:

This relays, are used to control the resistors without making contact with the Arduino.
Since it would burn it's circuits instantly.
Can take up to 100~120v, and uses at least 5~9v.
