LPC2148 based water quality monitoring system

This project is based on LPC2148 ARM 7 Microcontroller, It measures pH, Flow, and temperature of water. It logs data on computer and shows real time readings on 16x2 LCD, It uses BlueBoard-LPC2148

BlueBoard-LPC214x

BlueBoard is a cost effective prototyping and solutions using the versatile LPC214x series of microcontrollers. It is a ready-to-run development platform with code snippets to demonstrate applications for every feature supported on the board. The BlueBoard offers ubiquitous interfaces making it the best board available for the offered price. The LPC2148 microcontroller has 512KB of internal flash and 32+8K RAM, can be clocked up to 60Mhz. LPC2148 features include USB 2.0 device, 2xUARTs, RTC, 2x10bit ADCs each ADC has multiple channels, 1xDAC, 6XPWM, 2xI2C, 1xSPI, 1XSSP, 2x32-bit TIMERS, FAST I/0 support and WDT. LPC2148 also supports In System Programming (ISP)

Step 1: Circuit Diagram and Connections

1. Flow sensor connections goes to EINT1 (Pin 45 of LPC2148).

2. Temperature Sensor to ADC Channel (AD0.3 Pin 15 of LPC2148).

3. pH sensor RX, TX lines are connected to USART1 (TTL Rx Tx).

4. UART0 is used for sending data to PC for data logging.

Step 2: Download Required Files

In this project we are directly connecting these sensor to blueboard so no need of separate PCB or Circuit Diagram

1. Circuit Diagram of Blueboard

2. pH Sensor Protocol and Details

Step 3: Download Source Code

1. Download VB6 Software for DataLogging

2. Download LPC2148 Project Code File

Step 4: Testing and Debuging

1. Give power supply to respective sensors from BlueBoard, LPC2148 is +5V Compatible.

2. Flow Sensor is common hall effect type sensor, gives pulses as output

3. Temperature Sensor is LM35
