Reagent Wizard ============ Automate water analysis with low-cost, precision chemical reagents for common conditions like Ammonia, Chlorine, Nitrate/Nitrite, and pH. Currently, expensive electronic sensors are often required for these tests and frequently need to be replaced. The Reagent Robot's innovative reaction chamber incorporates a chemical indicator and LED/photodetector system to analyze the color of resulting mixtures. This initial design is meant as a starting point for further development. A sturdy bottom plate features a partially drilled hole accommodating the stirrer/cleaner shaft, while reducing friction with an integrated ball bearing. Initially crafted from plexiglass (plex), this component should be made from more durable materials later on. A clear square block of plex forms the central area within the chamber. This large block is positioned above a circular void to hold samples for analysis. Inside this compartment, a sturdy metal stirrer and cleaner system featuring vertical shaft turns to simultaneously blend samples, introduce chemical reagents, and maintain consistent optical readings over time. Atop this assembly, two plates house an injection inlet and an output port, though not directly pictured in the diagrams or prototype. Additionally, it should include another small aperture leading inwards through a thin conduit for delivering the precise quantities of reactive agents into samples.

Components' Breakdown: A collection of parts make up our machine: Stirrer cleaner shaft drive. Components required are in assembly (Step three): These units combine components like RAMPS standard, An optional component interface and boards - as listed under items: A. These should work in sync; we also use Arduino programming techniques to initiate an automatic program execution when desired actions take place. It must now read signals produced through LED sensors. A clear visual pathway ensures smooth navigation from sensor inputs back towards central PC controls - a common, standard communication method used widely within electronics fields worldwide today
