Section control from scratch

how did all this go in the end, looking at doing the same.

It went well, system performed very good for 2 seasons now. This is pressure regulated sprayer, so any number of section can be on or non, pressure stays same.

Went with those 12v ali 1/2 valves. I expanded sprayer to 6 sections in mean time. I did not want to rely on nano / esp32 conditioned switches. So I went with control box that can push 12v in front of relay. So both nano and manual switch can turn on section. When nano (AOG) is used then manual section switches must be off.

Alternatives are esp32 (wifi) in that grey box on sprayer. And only bring power cable to that box, or power and ethernet cable for arduino nano udp section control, then use relays as standard.

v good, good to know it went well, my sprayer is pressure regulated too, just a basic system.

What pressure do you run the sprayer at.

What type of device is that you have in the seethrough control box

Around 3 to 4 bars

That is just this type of cable connector, control box sits in cab.

the page you requested cannot be found

your system is as follows

AOG on tablet
AOG connected to Nano
Nano connected to relays
Relays connected to solenoids ?

Yes, that’s my system.
