I am building an automated terrarium for a bearded dragon. Which includes RaspberryPi 5 8gb 32GB Micro SD GPIO Extension board and ribbon cable.
Which powers
7" display
2 Cameras
3 DHT 22 humidity and temp sensors
1 DS18B20 water probe
6 Primary Light Relays
Minimum 12 LEDs either strip or individual with Moseft or PWM for controlling
3 heating pads
1 12V water pump MOSFET for pump control
1 UV filtration
2 12V Fans for ventilation
2 12V Power Supplies
Basically this tank has a waterfall inside of the tank which creates a higher humidity than what the bearded dragon is able to live in. Which needs to be controlled but if you simply just use fans you create a to cold of an environment which isn't good either and if you just crank the temps up it creates very weird thermal dynamics.
Simply which products from Raspberry would be the best way to go for this. The RaspberryPI 5 is the computer of choice but due to the complexity of the system I'm having a hard time figuring out the other boards that I am needing as well
I have also decided to add in a PICO Board as well to help control everything and monitor. I am currently working the wiring schematics and placement of everything. You may ask why do all of this well the answer is simply, why make something basic when you can create something unique and that you're proud of
