This is the prototype RGB LED Time Fountain I designed and built. It uses RGB LED strip lights to strobe a stream of water drops to make them appear as if they are levitating. By strobing the different colours out of phase with each other some incredible effects can be created.
An Arduino Uno controls the timing of the RGB strobe and the PWM of the pump. Bluetooth communication was achieved using an HC-05 Bluetooth module and the "Arduino bluetooth controller" app by "Giumig Apps".
The code is available on my GitHub: github.com/isa...

I did have a little look while designing it however I didn't find any that were small enough and they seem to only be used with continuous pump not diaphragm pumps. I do want to do more experimenting with them for the next version though.

Thanks, I was really happy with the effects they created! It's fairly quite, the water drops landing and the pump make about the same amount of sound. I would say it is a little bit louder than a PC fan running at max speed. Using an app on my phone (so not very reliable) I measured the sound as 47dB right next to the fountain and 30dB 1m away. (Normal conversations are around 45-50dB)

@dirfgiS
@dirfgiS 6 лет назад
Very nice build, looks amazing! Im planning on doing one of these for myself, and I wanted to ask a few questions. First, did you use adressable RGB strips or unadressable? How many watts do your strips take (how much light do they emit)? And also, what kind of pump would you recommend, what are the specifications (flow rate, tube size etc). Thank you!
@isaac879
@isaac879 6 лет назад
Thank you! I didn't use addressable ones. I can only control the colour of the whole strip, not each led. There are 60 RGB leds on the strips in total; at 12V they draw about 600mA when fully on (they are normally run at about 8% duty cycle though ). At fully brightness it would be 12V * 0.6A = 7.2W. The pump must be a kind of diaphragm pump to get the individual water drops. I used this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-DC-R385-Mini-Aquarium-Pump-Fish-Tank-Motor-Diaphragm-Water-AIR-Pump/192306145009?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 The tubing I used had a 5mm internal diameter and 8mm external diameter (external diameter doesn't really matter).

@isaac879
@isaac879 6 лет назад
I tried to get them even but there is no need to. They just need to light the stream of water so the position doesn't really matter as long as they do that. You can see when I was testing and just had the LEDs randomly draped over a tripod and the effect still worked: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LqMFiVkvxQw.html

Really great project! Now I also want to build one myself. :) But I have some questions regarding your circuit to control the pump and LED strips: Does the Arduino directly source/sink the current (I do not think so) or do you use transistors for that? Do you have a (rough) schematic to share?
@isaac879
@isaac879 6 лет назад
Thanks! As you correctly guessed the Arduino controls transistors to PWM the LED strip and a MOSFET to control the pumps PWM. The LED strips and pump both are powered by a 12V supply. Unfortunately I don't have a schematic yet but will create one in the near future and share it.

I also used the waterproof RGB 5050 LED strip. An HC-05 Bluetooth module handled the communications and an Arduino controlled all the electronics. I think the only other components were a few resistors and capacitors on the motor to reduce the noise it created in the circuit. I hope this helps you and the best of luck!

@@rosieluchford8668 it doesn't have to be controlled remotely but I thought it was best to do so for convenience. You can put a switch in for the pump but then you won't have control of the pwm to the pump which can help a little with the stability of the drops.

As I am on the same journey, I can share my insight here: The hc-05 directly is connected to the RX and TX pins of the Arduino (HC-05 RX to Arduino TX and vice-versa). GND of course goes to GND and VCC of the HC-05 to Arduino's 5V (I tried 3.3V as well, but that did not give stable results in my case).

I used a constant PWM value of 245 (out of 255). It took a lot of work and testing to get a constant stream of drops, I found I had the best results with a diaphragm pump that had the intake restricted and a short piece of tubing for the nozzle. I hope you manage to get it working!

How did you measure the water droplet frequency around 55 Hz? I am trying to replicate this with 555 IC with simple strobe circuit but unable to see this effect. I am using the same R385 diaphragm pump. I though maybe, my pump is pumping water at different frequency. How did you calculate your droplet frequency?
@isaac879
@isaac879 5 лет назад
I used the frequency of the strobe to obtain the rate it was producing drops. For my strobe I only use an 8% duty cycle otherwise the drops look elongated, so this might be part of your issue if the 555 is producing a square wave with 50% duty. You could probably find the rate of the water drops by using a frequency analyser app for your phone and listening to the pump. Also are you running the pump at 12V?

@@isaac879 Yes. I am running the pump at 12.7V using a 12V adapter.

Also, I read your code and mistakenly calculated your duty cycle to be 80% and designed according to that. Gross mistake! No wonder I am not seeing the individual water droplets!

@@knachoo If the outlet tube is too long I found the momentum of the water caused it to come out as a stream and not individual drops (part of the reason the pump is in the top of the fountain).

Thank you! The pump PWM is just to regulate the power it receives. It is a diaphragm pump so will naturally produce water drops when power is applied.

isaac879 With a normal pump will not produce this drops?
@isaac879
@isaac879 6 лет назад
A diaphragm pump is the only one I found to work. Other types will often produce a stream of water not individual drops.

I make one , but the pump is not diaphragm pump and the effect is not perfect . Would you said me a example or link of this type of pump?

what did you use to control the led light strips
@isaac879
@isaac879 3 года назад
You can check out the new version and schematic here: github.com/isaac879/RGB-Time-Fountain-V2 It's mostly controlled via an Arduino Nano and MOSFETs.

Did you use a H bridge motor driver to control the pump?
@isaac879
@isaac879 5 лет назад
I just used a TIP120 NPN Darlington transistor to control the pump as it doesn't need to be reversible.
@alterdavidj
@alterdavidj 5 лет назад
@@isaac879 Thanks! I assume you used TIP120's to PWM the RGB LED channels as well?
@isaac879
@isaac879 5 лет назад
@@alterdavidj I actually used 2N3904 NPN transistors as the LEDs didn't require as high current as the pump motor but TIP120 will work as well (I used them on a different project to power a much larger strip that required more current than the 2N3904 could handle).

thanks for letting me know. were currently designing an outside "shell" for our version of this fountain, do you have some kind of construction plan for the guts of that fountain? ps. I dont wanna borther you, we're a handful of students and looking for cool science projects :D
@isaac879
@isaac879 5 лет назад
All the components of the fountain are pretty much attached the the structure of it. The "guts of it" are the pump, leds Arduino and electronics circuit which are stuffed into the frame.
