Clean H2O
3FDR ECE 415
Project Objective
Society Need Need for water quality measuring for under
developed countries Engineering Need Handheld device that will display real-time
measurements (pH, salinity, temperature) of a liquid
Wireless transmission using Bluetooth technology
4FDR ECE 415
Existing Alternatives
Expensive
Individual sensing devices
Integrated devices but for expert / industrial use
High cost / lead to rentals
5FDR ECE 415
Proposed Design Features
Must be more affordable than current designs (≈$300).
Must be portable handheld device.
Must accurately measure pH, salinity, temperature.
Must include real-time display & wireless data transmission (see below)
Must have data log and rudimentary processing capabilities (off-board).

Why this design choice?
Arduino MINI development board: multiple I/Os, easier software development, reliable.
Nokia 6100 LCD display: real-time measurements, color, cheap, low power.
BlueSmirf Gold Bluetooth: reliable, range ≈100m.
Vernier temperature probe, ph and salinity sensors: accurate, cheap.
9FDR ECE 415
CDR progress snapshot Arduino board wired and programmed.
Used sensors for real time measurements.
Sensors, Display, Arduino integrated.
Showed BlueTooth connection.
10FDR ECE 415
Current Design
Finalized design decisions• Display, memory, streaming vs. real time,
on/off switches, LED lights, sampling rate, power consumption
LCD integration
Sensor integration
Establish bluetooth connection with PC
12FDR ECE 415
Sensing Duration vs Sensing Sample Rate Constrain: No external memory used.
Constrain: Federal regulations require public drinking supplies to be tested every 4 hours.
With given memory size, sample rate will determine how long we can store data.
Utilize Arduino built in memory• 14KB(total) – 8KB(software) = 6KB(left for storage)
6000bytes/12bytes(data) = 500(samples)
16FDR ECE 415
Power Senario
Arduino and Sensors on all day.• 66.972mAh x 24 hours = 1607.328 mA per day.
Display put on for 1 hour every day.• 70.7mAh x 1 hour = 70.7mA per day.
Bluetooth turned on for 5 minutes every week.• 32.588mAh x 5/(60x7) hour = 0.388 mA per day.
Total current used per day = 1694.322 mA.
Using 9V battery lasted 3.5 hours(tested).
17FDR ECE 415
Recap (Accomplishments)
