<p>arduino's have a future in aquaponics in my mind. Not many people talking about their use of arduino's and aquaponics. Windowfarm groups are much more active with arduino's and control of systems. I have just completed my auto mode function that I presented at Make:SF meeting featuring aquaponics in the Bay Area. The auto mode function controls the following components:</p>

<p>water pump - controlled by relay with timer function for turning on and off when needed</p>

<p>media probe - determines water level in grow bed will cause water pump to shut off when needed</p>
<p>gravity feed valve - drains grow bed after time period</p>
<p>float switch - controls water level in tank and protects water pump in case water gets to low in tank</p>
<p>start button - when pushed starts auto mode function LED lights goes from red to green for on</p>

<p>My media probe needs to be re-calibrated and I am moving to a new resistor configuration on this demo unit. Once completed I will do a video to demonstrate the functionality and how the cycle performs. I will next develop the KILL BUTTON function. Then move on to 4 one-wire temperature probes and LCD display of options and temperature readings at request of user.</p>
