cool idea

Really nice instructable.
The electronics could be greatly simplified by buying a DC ultrasonic module from ebay (such as http://www.ebay.com/itm/370678996323) for 1/10 of the price of the humidifier used in the project.
Just shopped around ebay, and I can get all the electronics for this, other than the switches/wire and pump, for under $30 total!
Not sure if this will work, but a $7 solvent pump is better than $35, and worth a try: http://www.ebay.com/itm/152138113435
@Carlton_Dodd Thank you, now I will build this! The parts were a bit too pricey, that frog humidifier and pump especially. Care to share any links for the other items to save us all the same hunt you just made?
@Colin
Give me a bit and I’ll post a Google Sheet with everything I’ve found.
EDIT:
Here you go. This should be all the electronics: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N-_9g335xhHknd35-NYwSs4RWKwA4q9IlWrPsViKyfg/edit?usp=sharing
You’ll still need containers, tubing, fittings.
If I could +1 you again I would, I hope the creator links to your google sheet. @Michael_Graham Great project and I look forward to building it shortly, @Carlton_Dodd put together a great Google Sheet with better pricing on many of the items needed. Thanks to both of you!
Thanks, @Colin
To be fair, using my parts is arguably simpler, but requires the ability to code and program an Arduino. The original design, though more expensive, required only connecting existing parts in a novel fashion.
If I start making this project, I’ll continue to update the sheet.
