If you have already made a strong investment in equipment of this type, this project is probably not for you. In this article, I talk about several applications that can help you to monitor Raspberry Pi's vital statistics, such as CPU load, disk usage, network info, and much more. There are also very modular (and usually quite expensive) professional systems that share this same perspective, but they often have the problem of forcing all components of the same brand to be purchased.
A pump: only filter when told, a saline chlorinator: create chlorine when told, a peristaltic pump, inject when told,… This project propose that the peripheral be as stupid (and cheap) as possible, dedicating himself ONLY to his main task. This equipment only partial resolve main automation tasks and dont allow any type of expansion or improvement.
Download for Windows Download for macOS Download for Ubuntu for x86.
Put the SD card you'll use with your Raspberry Pi into the reader and run Raspberry Pi Imager. It provides you with the information about different tasks running on.
Download and install Raspberry Pi Imager to a computer with an SD card reader. Htop is similar to a task manager in Windows OS and it works best for Raspberry Pi users.
We often see lots of equipment that is responsible for two or more tasks, more or less autonomously (saline chlorinators that control pH, intellegent pumps that control filtering and other equipment, smart peristaltic pumps with time control or probe connection, etc.). Watch our 45-second video to learn how to install an operating system using Raspberry Pi Imager. “ The main objective is to build a super-modular system that allows controlling the peripherals as simple (and cheap) as possible, transferring all intelligence to a raspberry pi controling all what happens in the pool. The tutorial is classed as an advanced project and can be built over two days. “The main objective is to build a super-modular system that allows controlling the peripherals as simple (and cheap) as possible, transferring all intelligence to a raspberry pi controling all what happens in the pool.” The system uses a Raspberry Pi 3 mini PC together with a selection of other components including a bypass PVC tube with the sensors, a peristaltic pump to inject liquids and regulate chemical parameters and code to make sure the system runs smoothly. Here you can find a cost-effective, simple but powerful automation-system that you can build by yourself with a little time and effort.” “The automation for a swimming-pool is something reserved to top-of-the-range systems. To help monitor swimming pools more effectively Hackster.io member Sega Lion has created a Raspberry Pi swimming pool monitor and automation system, providing an easy to build, cost-effective solution for automating functions to maintain your pool.
