12V 1/2" Inlet Feed Water Solenoid Valve N/C (1/2 straight valve)
Have you ever wanted to control the flow of a liquid using your computer or microcontroller, but didn’t know how?
Well, here’s how: The 12V solenoid controlled fluid valve. Simply connect a fluid source to the fluid input then once the 12Vdc is applied the fluid will start to exit until the 12Vdc signal is removed.

If your signal is 5V , then you can use relay 5Vdc to control the 12Vdc from your microcontroller.

Specifications

  • Voltage: 12V DC
  • Rated Power: 5W
  • Pressure: Max 8 Bar
  • Operation model: Normally closed
  • Port Size: 1/2''
  • Fluid temperature: 0-100
  • Usage: water and low viscosity fluids
  • Flow characteristics: 0.2Bar>1.5L/min 1Bar>7L/min 3Bar>12L/min 8Bar>20L/min;

Adafruit ADS1015 12-Bit ADC (ADS1015 12-Bit ADC)
The Raspberry Pi does not feature an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), so if you want to measure analogue singals, you'll need this 12-Bit ADC!

The Adafruit 4-Channel I2C 12-Bit ADC is a high-precision ADC and features the ADS1015 chip, which provides 12-bit precision at 3300 samples/second over I2C. The chip can be configured as 4 single-ended input channels, or two differential channels. As a nice bonus, it even includes a programmable gain amplifier,with up to x16, to help boost smaller single/differential signals to the full range. We like this ADC because it can run from 2V to 5V power/logic, can measure a large range of signals and its super easy to use. It is a great general purpose 12 bit converter. 

The chip's fairly small so it comes on a breakout board with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet and interfacing is done via I2C. The address can be changed to one of four options (see the datasheet table 5 in downloads below) so you can have up to 4 ADS1015's connected on a single 2-wire I2C bus for 16 single ended inputs. 
 
To get you started, we have example code for the Raspberry Pi - Simply connect GND to ground, VDD to your logic power supply, and SCL/SDA to your microcontroller's I2C port and run the example code to start reading data.
 
The Adafruit 4-Channel I2C 12-Bit ADC Features:
  • Wide Supply Range: 2.0V to 5.5V
  • Low Current Consumption: Continuous Mode: Only 150µA Single-Shot Mode: Auto Shut-Down
  • Programmable Data Rate: 128SPS to 3.3kSPS
  • Internal Low-Drift Voltage Reference
  • Internal Oscillator
  • Internal PGA
  • I2C Interface: Pin-Selectable Addresses
  • Can run from 2V to 5V power/logic
  • Measures a large range of signals and is super easy to use.
  • 12-bit precision at 3300 samples/second over I2C.
  • Configurable as 4 single-ended input channels, or two differential channels.
  • Includes a programmable gain amplifier, up to x16, to help boost up smaller single/differential signals to the full range.
  • Breakout Board equipped with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet

10-bit ADC (SPI) MCP3008 - 8 Channel (10-bit ADC 8 Channel)
The Raspberry Pi is a great computer but there's just one thing that most hardware hackers will find missing: a few inputs for connecting analog sensors. This is where the MCP3008 chip comes in handy, with eight 10-bit channels accessible over SPI. Thanks to the Raspberry Pi's SPI interfaces and its two 'Chip Select' pins available off of the main GPIO connector, the problem is solved.

Features

  • 10-bit resolution
  • ± 1 LSB max DNL
  • ± 1 LSB max INL
  • 8 input channels
  • Analog inputs programmable as single-ended or pseudo-differential pairs
  • On-chip sample and hold
  • SPI serial interface (modes 0,0 and 1,1)
  • Single supply operation: 2.7V - 5.5V
  • 200 ksps max. sampling rate at VDD=5V
  • 75 ksps max. sampling rate at VDD=2.7V
  • Low power CMOS technology
  • 5 nA typical standby current, 2 µA max.
  • 500 µA max. active current at 5V
  • Industrial temp range: -40°C to 85°C

Applications

  • Sensor Interface
  • Process Control
  • Data Acquisition
  • Battery Operated Systems

The following sample assumes that you're running the latest official Raspbian distribution, that you're logged in as root and that you haven't yet customized Raspbian to use SPI from a Python script. By default, the kernel module managing SPI communications is not loaded on Raspbian, so let's ensure that the 'spidev' device is available.

root@raspberrypi:/# lsmodModule                  Size  Used by  snd_bcm2835            12808  0  snd_pcm                74834  1 snd_bcm2835  snd_seq                52536  0  snd_timer              19698  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm  snd_seq_device          6300  1 snd_seq  snd                    52489  5 snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_bcm2835  snd_page_alloc          4951  1 snd_pcm  

If 'spidev' device is not listed, we need to remove it from the kernel module 'blacklist' so that it's automatically loaded on the next boot:

root@raspberrypi:/# nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf  

Put a hash character in front of the 'blacklist spi-bcm2708' statement and save the file:

#blacklist spi-bcm2708  

then, manually load the SPI device:

root@raspberrypi:/# modprobe spidev  

The command should just complete without returning an error. Validate the list of modules:

root@raspberrypi:/# lsmod  Module                  Size  Used by  spi_bcm2708             4401  0  spidev                  5136  0  snd_bcm2835            12808  0  snd_pcm                74834  1 snd_bcm2835  snd_seq                52536  0  snd_timer              19698  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm  snd_seq_device          6300  1 snd_seq  snd                    52489  5 snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_bcm2835  snd_page_alloc          4951  1 snd_pcm  

The 'spidev' device should now be available.

Next, install the 'git' package. It will be needed to install other packages from Github.

apt-get install git-core  

Install the 'python-dev' package. It will be needed to compile the 'py-spidev' package.

apt-get install python-dev  

Download and compile the 'py-spidev' package.

root@raspberrypi:/# cd /home  root@raspberrypi:/home# git clone git://github.com/doceme/py-spidev  root@raspberrypi:/home# cd py-spidev/  root@raspberrypi:/home# python setup.py install  

At this point, SPI is available from Python 2.7. Assuming that you have wired the MCP3008 to the Raspberry Pi's SPI bus using CE0 as the 'chip select' pin, you can read all eight analog inputs using the following Python script.

root@raspberrypi:/home# nano adc.py  

Paste the script below in the editor and save it.

import spidev  import time    spi = spidev.SpiDev()  spi.open(0,0)    # read SPI data from MCP3008 chip, 8 possible adc's (0 thru 7)  def readadc(adcnum):          if ((adcnum > 7) or (adcnum < 0)):                  return -1          r = spi.xfer2([1,(8 adcnum)<<4,0])          adcout = ((r[1]&3) << 8)   r[2]          return adcoutwhile True:          for adcInput in range(0,8):                  print "ADC(", adcInput,")=", readadc(adcInput)          time.sleep(1)  

To execute the script

root@raspberrypi:/home# python adc.py  

Sample output using a 10K Ohm trimpot connected to the ADC's pin 3 and all other pins pulled down to ground using a 10k resistor.

ADC( 0 )= 0  ADC( 1 )= 0  ADC( 2 )= 0  ADC( 3 )= 507  ADC( 4 )= 0  ADC( 5 )= 0  ADC( 6 )= 0  ADC( 7 )= 0  

Credits go to Jeremy for his work on the 'py-spidev' Python module which makes working with the MCP3008 straight forward. Alternatively, checkout wiringPi's SPI functions if you prefer using a 'C' API.

Slip Ring with Flange - 22mm Diameter-6 Wires-Max 240V 2A (slip ring 22mm 6wire)

DESCRIPTION

With a slip ring assembly, your electronics can now twist and turn safely. Add wheel encoders, 360 degree sensors, rotating LEDs, rotors and more! We've seen a lot of people DIY slip ring's out of desperation but no longer, simply pick up one of these to solve any rotation needs you have.

Inside the plastic tube is a gold plated slip ring for 6 wires. There are six color coded wire sets made of 26 AWG and no matter how you twist the assembly, they will remain in continuity. Each of the wire sets can carry up to 2A at up to 240VAC or 240VDC. There's a 44mm (1.7") diameter flange with mounting holes to make it easy to attach or you can cut it off with a hacksaw and drill/machine as you wish it seems to just be ABS plastic. Rated to rotate up to 300 RPM (but you can probably go faster if you don't mind a reduced life and/or noise).

Note: Wire colors may vary.
