pH and EC probes are to connect to PCB using BNC connectors. Each board needs to be uniquely identifiable when connected to a LINUX machine/Raspberry Pi via USB-C. I will also need any software that will be on the board, and guidance on how to get any software on the boards for production runs. Accuracy must be within +-2%. The resolution is to be 0.1 for both probe readings. EC probe will read 10 µS/cm to 1S. Powered by USB. Mounting holes in the corners. I have another PCB project after this one.

I have over 35 years experience as an electronic design engineer, please see my profile for more details The current price and timescales are only place holders to allow me to communicate with you I have only just designed a PH and EC interface circuit for another customer. These have analogue outputs that can be fed directly into the ADC ports of a micro controller. The PH interface was an update of a design that I implemented a while ago to measure swimming pool water. Then I did a newer version for fish ponds and finally this recent development with the EC probe. The PH interface circuit is completely isolated using a very high impedance amp so that ensures long probe life. The EC interface was developed using the application note CN3059 from analogue devices. This provides a very accurate method of measuring EC. I have not implemented the software on the EC design, my customer is doing that. However there is no reason that I could implement this and have the data sent to a USB port. If you think I can help then please send me further details Best Regards Dave Lelievre

Hello, For a better understading of the device I need to know where you want to place it. It will be place in the soil or in water ? The type of electrod that we use, can influnece the precision and also the circuite that reads the information from the sensor and gives it out on the USB can influnce this. A good sensor and a good data aqusition circuite should be made. If you have time I will like to talk to you about the project. About me: I have 8 years of product design in the automotive industry. I am an expert in: - Dc - Dc converters - DDRAM memory's simulation and layout - USB charging - accelerometers , gyroscopes - GPS and GSM - LCD Displays - LED power calculation As a Layouter I have 5 Years experience. I am an expert in : - Power Dissipation Calculation - EMC Rules - Impedance Calculation - Manufacturing Rules I have made Layout for ARM processor. Work also with BGA footprint. I have done projects even on 10 layer. So I know how to build a layer stack up. As Layout and Schematic software I am an expert in Eagle, PADs, Zuken. As Simulation software for the Schematic I used LTSpice. Thank you for your time, Have a NIce Day, Alex.

Hello, I can design this PCB including hardware and firmware. I will deliver all necessary files for production (Gerber, NC-Drill, BOM, firmware) and also schematics and PCB layout as PDF for reference purposes. The firmware will be programmed by you using a very low-cost programmer (around $15-$20), and I will show you all the needed steps. It would be nice if you knew in advance which sensors you plan to use for pH and EC measurements so I could check their datasheets for specs. The down-payment is needed to cover possible probe costs for my testing during design. I assume any Linux side software required is your responsibility, and I will need to work with you on defining the protocol of communication between the device and the Linux unit. If interested please contact me. Thank you.

hi i am expert embedded system What type of sensor you are using? what kind of output data sensor? ttl, i2c or analog voltage? if i2c or TTL and you use raspberry pi, it does not need additional boards.. just code in raspberry pi thanks

Hello Sir THis is interesting project. I can offer you complete design for it including firmware (software on PCB) I can make really nice solution for you, something like shield for arduino which will do PH and EC measurements for you. It can be really easy plug and play. So my idea is to make a PCB which will be on top of arduino (shield for it) It will have all of the USB functions and so on. Firmware should be really easy for me. If you are interested i can do complete solution for you. Shield can sent all of the data through usb and you can see them in therminal on Rpi or linux or any other platform Many thanks Regards Milan

Hello, i'm an electronics engineer with many years of experience in instruments design. I already have done both ph-meter and conductivity meter instruments in the past; the newest part should be regarding the software on raspberry , achievable with an usb serial port converter (the easyest way) or by wrinting a driver for raspberry. Anyway i can do this work for you if you decide to assign this one to me. Costs for prototyping are apart, and not included in the budget of my offer. Regards, Enrico Tosato

Hi, I have a lot of experience in instrumentation design and signal conversion hardware. This is a design that can be done in a simple way by many people, however proper signal integrity is hard to achieve. Every little error accumulated through a long chain is what ends up differentiating a professional acquisition board from an 'Arduino DIY quality' one. I would love to discuss more design concerns with you. Regards, Borja
