AV-TURBOTIDE

AV-Turbotide

From Polluted Tides to Crystal Shores: Sailing towards cleaner water.

I am an Iot based RC boat for monitoring water pollution. I am designed to monitor key water quality parameters, including pH levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and pollutant concentrations. The data collected by me can be used to detect pollution events early, identify pollution sources, and evaluate pollution control measures. I can also be used to address issues related to industrial and agricultural runoff. Involving local communities in water quality monitoring can help to raise awareness and empower individuals to participate in the preservation of their water resources. The data collected by me can also be used to inform policy formulation and regulation related to water quality.

WIFI MODULE

ESP8266 is a wi-fi module connecting your creations to the internet like a pro. Think smart homes, IoT projects, and remote control all at a budget-friendly price. Arduino & Raspberry Pi ready, it's easy to use, making magic accessible to makers of all levels.

BLDC MOTOR

The REES52 A2212 1400KV Brushless motor is a powerful and efficient motor for RC aircraft and multi copters. It is lightweight and compact, making it ideal for smaller drones. The 1400KV rating means that it can spin at up to 1400 revolutions per minute per volt, making it perfect for high-performance applications.

SERVO MOTOR

This lightweight servo motor packs a punch, rotating 180° with 1.8kg-cm torque at 6.6V. Perfect for robotics, RC models, it runs on 3-7.2V and plays nice with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Its compact size (22.8 x 11.8 x 22.7mm) and budget-friendly price make it a popular choice for beginners.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The temperature sensor devices detect and measure heat, converting it into an electrical signal. They come in various types, like thermocouples, thermistors, and RTDs, each suited for different temperature ranges and applications

pH SENSOR

The pH sensor measures hydrogen ion activity in liquids, revealing their acidic or alkaline nature. From chem labs to agriculture, it's a key tool for countless applications. Simply connect it to your Arduino or Raspberry Pi and watch the LED light up, guiding you to precise pH readings.

TURBIDITY SENSOR

A turbidity sensor measures the cloudiness or haziness of a liquid by detecting suspended particles. Commonly used in water quality monitoring, it ensures accurate assessments of water clarity for environmental, industrial, and scientific applications, promoting efficient resource management and pollution control.

TDS SENSOR

A TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor measures the concentration of dissolved substances in a liquid. It provides a quantitative assessment of water quality by detecting minerals, salts, and other impurities, helping ensure optimal conditions for various applications, including drinking water and industrial processes.
