Computer Controlled Watering System with C# or VB.NET Description :
This is a fun project for building your own PC controlled watering system using a cheap parallel relay controller, a screwdriver, off the shelf solenoid valves, a power supply for the valves, some basic level wiring and soldering which can be completed by anyone, and of course, some clever VB.NET/C# :).
Now, if the use of the words PC, relay, solenoid valve, power supply, wiring, soldering, screwdriver, and VB.NET/C# all in the one sentence doesn't get the geek home handyman/handywoman salivating, I don't know what will!
I have this system watering my yard and I couldn't be happier, it is arguably just as reliable as a dedicated watering controller and far more convenient. I don't plan on ever putting my old dedicated watering controller to work again.
