Hell...I can put batteries into a flashlight...that makes me a genius...🤣🤣🤣 Blokes like this always mesmerize me with their ability to fix, make, and do stuff like this. Just fantastic. Thanks so much. I may even succeed!?
Very interesting.. I super new to Arduino tech thingy. You didn't mention the power rating of the relay. Does the relay has to be 12v or 5v etc? Thanks
The control side of the relay has to be 5v but the other side can be whatever you want within the recommended range, I do have a relay video on my channel that might help
Thanks Clark, working on a project right now and going to continue this series, wasnt monetized until recently so all these projects over 3 years started to drain me a little too much lol
I need to do something similar, but with a reversable AC motor. The motor reverses, not by doing anything with the power supply wires, but by switching a couple of other wires under the motor's connection cover plate. In addition, I need to add add electric brake circuit, which does attach to the AC supply wires (it discharges a cap which momentarily puts DC into the motor winding which causes breaking). For that to work, the directional circuit must remain connected for the duration of the cap discharge. I have a switch like yours, a 120V AC motor, parts for the brake circuit, a relay and now I've purchased an R3 arduino with a 5-relay shield that I have a feeling that I need but I know absolutely nothing about it. I also have an 11 year old grandaughter who's learning to program in Python ("Hello world"). I'd enlist her help but she's 4 states away. Please pray for me.
Hi, I got a lot of help from this video. Thank you so much! I wonder how to connect the reverse switch with the relay cause my switch has 3 pins. And your switch had 6 pins... thanks!
Glad it helped, for the 3 pin im not sure but usually 3 pin its for 2 ON positions and 1 off in the middle, if thats true that switch wont work you need a 6 pin one !
Hi Mikael. Thanks for your great idea with your clear and simple method. I have a question. If I have 4 motors instead of one, do I need 4 rocker switches? Or is there a solution where I can use one rocker switch for four motors?
depends on if you want them all to spin in different directions, but if you want all in the same direction/flow then yes 100%, just make sure youre powersupply can handle it
hey i am working on a mini project based on the principal of a pumped-storage hydroelectricity and the DC motor of the pump is going to work as motor and generator depending on some conditions i want to know if it produces good voltage or its designed just for being a pump (mechanically)
honestly nothing at this price range is super effichient but it gets the job done, Im sure its not bad and you can generate power but its gotta be a decently strong flow, would love to see this project when your done, join the discord it sounds super cool
Hi great video, you got yourself a new subscriber :) Would love to get some recommendations using this project of yours as a reference. I'm not into engineering, so this video will be of great help and sorry for the newb question I might ask. The project I'm starting involves creating a pump to feed a sick guinea pig on regular basis. He is currently on syringe feeding, but it's getting very hard for me time-wise. Would this pump work with wet food instead of water (food with the same consistency of yogurt)? If not, what material of the tube should I look for? Also, how can I make the pump responsive to pressure, so whenever my guinea pig sucks the food, the pump would turn on? Can the arduino be programable in order to do that? Thank you in advance, hope you have great success with your channel :)
Love the video but when you are attaching wires to the system could you find a camera angle to not have you head covering your work? Love the format but its a little hard to follow when vision is obstructed
there was actually another comment about that above this one, its possible but not recommened since pressing both at the same time would be problematic
Is there any alternative with all the features of peristaltic valve, but the direction can be controlled by the Arduino itself without any manual intervention??
Would I be able to use arcade style buttons with this pump instead of the rocker switch? One button for direction of water flow and another button for water flow in the other direction?
Yes, the wiring would be pos and negative one way for one flow and opposite for other direction, you wouldn’t even have connect them together like this, just make sure you don’t press both at the same time (not an issue with a rocker switch since it’s one or the other)
just trying to make project in hydrophonic system. Thinking of having pump that automatic applying nutrients solution to the plant accordingy to it needs. Just for insight what may i add? feels free to answer me :)
you could pump from a liquid containter into your plants and control that flow in any way you would like, I dont know much about hydrophonic but I imagine that would work
@@MikaelAbehsera i'm finding some things that annoy me about various forms of plastic. the way things are phrased it's almost like none of them are safe without precautions.. sigh. what kind of tubing would you use ? platinum treated vinyl is one that looks promising its used in drink machines for example.
Arduino only use 5v power so arduino cant power the pump so he use relay and uses 12v power supply. Arduino only sends signal to the relay as to when to turn on.
@Peace-yj4ry I’m not sure how that would work but my concern would be the tire would be super difficult to balance, if you want some auto pumping tire I would have a pump hidden somewhere and a 360 degree twisting air tube going into the air valve, check out how it’s done on off-road cars, super cool technology
@@MikaelAbehseraBut i need anything like that for our project, which is used to suck air from the atmosphere and increases its pressure then pump through another valve... Also it want to fit within the tyre
@@MikaelAbehsera thank you. Please where is the link to the other videos in the series where you said you will integrate these pumps with a float switch?
Surely a peristaltic pump should have a stepper motor as driver not a strandard BLDC motor (which will work but will not be able to provide the fine 'micro dosing'...) Otherwise you may as well just use any standard pump if you are just pumping water.
@@MikaelAbehseracould I get your help picking out some stuff I need to make this work I am clueless about this stuff I’m building a waterfall in an reptile enclosure and this looks like the perfect size I just don’t know what flow rate I need and what I need to make the pump run continuously

Hii do you think this could be use to acrylic paints? we’re making a prototype and this is one of the best options for us
yes but I would be worried about the paint dying in the lines if you dont clean them after each use
This is very helpful. If I only need my pump to flow water in one direction, can I just use the relay without an H-Bridge? Thank you
yup! just dont do it and it will work in whatever direction you set it up in.

Yes I will work on this moving forward, thanks for the feedback
thank you so much for this video! wonder if one/two pushbuttons will do the same function or not ?
there was actually another comment about that above this one, its possible but not recommened since pressing both at the same time would be problematic
this video is very helpful!! I hope you can post the part 2 of this ASAP. thank you
I will!
Anything specifically you’d like to see?
using pH sensor please. thank you
automated on and off with threshold of sensor
@@curtjohannmaracha5235 looking forward to this as well... Running a timer for my watering system.
Is there any alternative with all the features of peristaltic valve, but the direction can be controlled by the Arduino itself without any manual intervention??
you can have a real Hbridge switch, and activate that using non manual intervention
Hej cool project. Will it work with a 24V pump?
yeah! just make sure the other components can handle 24v and that you use a powersupply for 24v, but yes it can
Hey, I want to use this in my project, but I need to control the speed of the pump, is there a wave to do that?
Yeah, dc speed controller!
Time to binge

Can you please provide the specification/name of the relay you used? Thank you.
its just a generic one off amazon/aliexpress, I stopped putting links since they always get changed by the sellers

hey brother
i am doing the same will be helpful if we could connect
you could pump from a liquid containter into your plants and control that flow in any way you would like, I dont know much about hydrophonic but I imagine that would work
Do you have a list of parts and links???
links expired off amazon, so i removed
Great video man, but i noticed you havent posted any new content in the past 4 months. Are you still planning on covering the other sensors?
yeah, getting into it again now, channel wasnt monitized till this week and all these projects started to add up
Can the peristaltic pump open partially to let just a little amount of water to flow, or can it only open and close fully?
check your other comment, hopefully my response kidna helps lol
When will the water level sensor video come out?
Workin on them right now, is there a sensor you’d like to see specifically ?
@@MikaelAbehsera yes, the cheap red one for Arduino
Link it
How many amps do you need for the power supply?
i think mine was 1.5a, or 2a i forgot
I want to control the direction of water flow in code rather than physical switch is that possible??
yes but youll need something to reverse polarity like an hbridge, i made a manual one to avoid buying more parts :)
@@MikaelAbehsera what about useing a moter drive that control speed and direction?
the tubing connected to the pump would it add bad taste to drinking water ?
not if its food grade tubing, otherwise yes.
@@MikaelAbehsera i'm finding some things that annoy me about various forms of plastic. the way things are phrased it's almost like none of them are safe without precautions.. sigh. what kind of tubing would you use ? platinum treated vinyl is one that looks promising its used in drink machines for example.
@@MikaelAbehsera btw i liked your video. i had considered that exact pump for usage in my mad science project :P
could you vary the flow rate with pulse width modulation
Yes!
Can ardruino nano work as wel in that set up?
yes! but you might run out of pins quickly with those
Did you use 12v/5v relay for that?
yes 5v control, and then 5/12/24v for the pumps usually
Great video! What is actually the function of the relay? Thanks
Arduino only use 5v power so arduino cant power the pump so he use relay and uses 12v power supply. Arduino only sends signal to the relay as to when to turn on.
you can also use a Mosfet instead, but don't forget a flyback diode and be sure the Mosfet turns on with that Arduino's 5V
relay pretty much is a switch for you to control a larger power source, like you can setup a relay on the light switch on the wall
Hey man great video, how can I reach you out. I have a project that im stuck and maybe you could help me out with.
I have a discord with some members and we try and help each other out there
which relay is used in this?
just the generic ardeuino ones
Can arduino run a clock? Sync to local time anf switch pump by schedule?
yes but you need a time/clock module
Can we use this pump to pump air with increased pressure
Not really it’s more for liquids, I would use an air pump for air
Could please suggest a small size air pump that can fit inside a tyre,@@MikaelAbehsera
@Peace-yj4ry I’m not sure how that would work but my concern would be the tire would be super difficult to balance, if you want some auto pumping tire I would have a pump hidden somewhere and a 360 degree twisting air tube going into the air valve, check out how it’s done on off-road cars, super cool technology

Hi thanks a lot for your video! your Discord link is not valid, and I wonder if you share the code anywhere?
I’m pretty sure i saw you join ? Are your “old gug”
hi, can I directly connect pump with relay without the external power source ?
no, you need one
@@MikaelAbehsera why is that??
How will you power the pump? The relay is only a switch for the power, it doesn’t provide power
@@MikaelAbehsera ohh I thought the power from arduino will like amplify when using the relay so it can power the pump 😅 THANKSSS!!
Pls it needs a wiring diagram for clarity
You got it on the next one
@@MikaelAbehsera thank you. Please where is the link to the other videos in the series where you said you will integrate these pumps with a float switch?
When will we get an update? 😅
still working on it ;)
@@MikaelAbehseraany update yet with the float switch?
Surely a peristaltic pump should have a stepper motor as driver not a strandard BLDC motor (which will work but will not be able to provide the fine 'micro dosing'...) Otherwise you may as well just use any standard pump if you are just pumping water.
yeah this is not a medical grade one its just a cheapo off amazon/aliexpress to demonstrate!
