The system begins with clean uncapped jars being placed on the rotary table. From there, jars queue for the dispensing pump. In batches of four, a prescribed amount of growing media is deposited into each jar by a peristaltic pump. The pumps draw directly from the tank in which the media is made in… text/html 2025-08-20T20:51:12+00:00 liam (liam@undisclosed.example.com) http://portfolio.vernox.ca/project/cleaning_system?rev=1755723072&do=diff Tissue-Culture Vessel Cleaning System This is one of the largest projects I have done. The fastest explanation is by video: VIDEO Vacuum TEXT Cleaning Video Script This is the automated system for cleaning tissue-culture growing vessels. The system begins with placing uncapped soiled jars on the rotary accumulation table. From there, jars queue for the vacuum station. One at a time, the contents are removed by the pneumatic vacuum.

It connects to a server via WiFi and reports values using MQTT and ESPHome. It features a screen which displays graphs. The sensor is a Bosch BME688, which measures: the ambient temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and CO2 VOC estimates. The controller is an ESP32 and programmed with ESPHome. Readings are recorded in a VictoriaMetrics database on the server. Alerts are sent to relevant m… text/html 2024-11-01T17:54:04+00:00 liam (liam@undisclosed.example.com) http://portfolio.vernox.ca/sidebar?rev=1730483644&do=diff Profile * Education * Skills * PDF File Industrial Projects * Cleaning System * Dispensing System * Capping Station * Dispensing System * Vacuum System * PLC * Jar Packing System * Screw Drive Projects * Climate Tracker * Home Server * Home Automation * Filtered Growing Vessels * Jar Targeting Vision System * 3D Printer Enclosure * Elevator Design Control System text/html 2024-11-01T17:51:51+00:00 liam (liam@undisclosed.example.com) http://portfolio.vernox.ca/automation_games?rev=1730483511&do=diff Automation Games I strongly believe that automation or similar games can bolster one's understanding of systems.
