Aquarium Temperature Monitor Pro Kit with Arduino Uno
Aquarium Temperature Monitor Pro Kit with Arduino Uno – Water Quality Tester with WHO Comparison
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
For an aquarium hobbyist, water temperature and purity determine fish health. This kit lets you build a compact monitor that shows both temperature and TDS/EC values on a backlit LCD, then instantly flags whether the water meets the WHO drinking water safety limit. It turns a practical monitoring need into a complete learn-by-doing sensor project.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a breadboard-based instrument that reads the DS18B20 waterproof probe for aquarium temperature and the TDS EC meter for dissolved solids. The 16x2 LCD with I2C backpack displays live readings and a clear PASS or FAIL status when your water sample exceeds 500 ppm—the WHO guideline limit. A 9V battery makes the entire unit portable for spot-checks around multiple tanks.
What You'll Learn
- Interface the DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor and parse its 1-Wire data for stable aquarium readings
- Measure water purity with the TDS EC meter and scale the analog output to ppm using calibration math
- Display real-time temperature, TDS, and a WHO comparison message on a 16x2 LCD via I2C backpack without messy wiring
- Implement a decision logic in Arduino code to compare sensor values against the 500 ppm WHO drinking water threshold
