DIY touch screen sprinkler system

Well here is another interesting project from what seems to be a new site. Max from zedomax.com has done some interesting projects. This one is a touch screen control for your lawn sprinkler system. I guess there are different settings for a sprinkler system other than just on and off.

Couple months ago, my friend’s sprinkler contol system broke, so I decided to build him one using a touch screen controller.

The other day, I went to Home Depot and I’ve noticed there was no touch screen sprinkler system on the market yet, or at least not at Home Depot.

Anyways, today I will show you how to make one and let you have access to my sprinkler program source code too.

Since I don’t own a house like my friend and live out of a garage, I will have to simulate the water pressure using a water pump.
