Parts You'll Need

This project is sourced from another site, not written by us — this list is our best match of their components against what we stock, not a verified bill of materials. Always check the original blog (linked above) for the actual parts list before buying.

This list includes a generic resistor set as a placeholder — it is not matched to the exact value or part number this circuit needs. The correct one is specified on the original source page linked above; check it before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

They safely reduce mains AC voltage and convert it into a direct current (DC) supply needed to power the 12V voltage regulator, relay, and Arduino circuit.
The Arduino continuously reads data from the SEN18 water-level sensor. Once the sensor detects that enough condensed water has accumulated, the microcontroller activates the 2N2222 transistor to switch on the relay and power the atomiser.
No, digital pins on the Arduino Uno cannot supply the high current required by the ultrasonic atomiser disk or the 12V relay, which is why a 2N2222 transistor and external power supply are necessary.
