pHerminator: Arduino pH and gas monitoring fermentation


Table of Contents

Purpose

At my work we ferment a lot of milk making either yoghurt or cheese. This involves expensive equipment, often only pH is meassured untill a given piont where the process is stopped. This is an attepmt to make a cheep alternative based on an arduino which also measures gasses and provide a realtime interface using thingspeak channelid 96629.

Features

  • Serial interactive menus
  • Callibration og pH probe and gas sensors
  • Serial repporting
  • Logging in realtime to thingspeak

Materials and Wireing

  • Arduino Uno
  • Liquid PH Value Sensor with BNC Electrode Probe
  • Selection of gas sensors (I used 4 from a kit with cheep MQ-sensors)
    • MQ4 for alcohol
    • MQ7 for carbonmonooxide
    • MQ8 for hydrogene
    • MQ135 for ammonia
  • Waterproof Plastic Electronic Project Box Enclosure Case 100×68×50MM (ebay)
  • Optional a raspberry pi for online monitoring and logging

assembly

Drill holes in the project box for gas sensors and BNC. Wireing is a lot simpler than it looks, ground and 5v is wired to all the sensors (blue and brown) then each sensors analog outputis connected to an analog pin on the arduino.
