My Little Progress
About two months ago i saw a video on youtube 'Japanese Waterfall' and was amazed to see stunning water graphical effects... I flabbergasted just like you all... I decided to work on it and meditated what the Japanese did on this fountain.... I have found no information what is working behind... I came to know that:
1- I need a Graphical design software that can produce bits from pixels i.e. graphical images to binary images
2- A Microcontroller that can get the coomands from the computer and send to 100's of solenoid valves to create those stunning effects.
3- Mechanical hardware i.e. pump,pipes, sump, water Header etc
4- A simulator 40 LEDs mimcking 40 solenoid valves.
5- Brain to do all above, frankly, that is scarce here
Almost all work is completed and today i am installing the header and solenoids on the wall of my drawing room
I came across many challenges i.e. solenoid valves response timing, water drop shapes etc...and still experimenting to increase the solenoids response by injecting high current for a short time period
I am a Mechanical Engineer and nothing to do with electronics and programming.
