List of components required for irrigation projects
TOOLS
Computer
USB A to USB B
Wire striper optional
Crimper (optional)
Pliers
ELECTRICAL
Arduino UNO board or equivalent
Female to male connecting cables for Arduino
Arduino uno shield with screw-in terminals
2pcs 9-volt battery box. 2.1mm plug for Arduino

IRRIGATION
1-inch ball valve
The connection into the valve will depend on what you have available
1 inch nipple x 6
4 way 1 inch manifold
1 x 1-inch cap
4 x Hunter PGV Solenoid Valve 25mm (inc. Flow Cont.)(DC Latching Coil)
For the output I went into 19mm low-density pipe which means I used 4 x 1inch to 19mm hose connector with 22mm ratchet clamps on each exit
19mm low-density pipe length will depend on how many sprinklers you would like to run
I used a Hunter Pro Spray mp3000 with a 360-degree nozzle.
