Swimming Pool Auto Controller Project(start)

I am helping my classmates to do their Thesis Project : Swimming Pool Auto Controller.

So, for the starting, here are some small description.

The project was finished, it took approx 1 month(total of 15 hour work) to finish that project. I have worked on my free times as i have a job.

The project was easy, but it needs 2 times code rewriting, 1 atmega8 has damaged and burnt out its some I/O pin for accidentally short-circuit. And the funniest thing is, we got shocked several times by the poor quality water heater.

The pump we have used was a Reverse-Osmosis 80 GPD pump(we needed a small pump for our project). We have used a solenoid valve to control the water draining. The temperature sensor is the most common DS18B20 temperature sensor that we have used in this project.

The Features Was

• Water Temperature Control.
• Water Level Control.
• Automatic Water Recycling Each Day.
• Show Temperature on the LCD.
• Swimming Pool dancing light control(When Pool Is Ready).

We have used Atmega8 microcontroller to our project as the hex file is less than 7 kilobyte. And the code for this project is :
