Prerequisites

or if you'd like to build the Sprinkler software yourself:

Installation

Download the software for your platform from #Downloads or build the software yourself

Starting

Run the software with java -jar sprinkler.jar or sprinkler (If you built the software yourself: cd com.bitplan.sprinkler/release before this command)

Setup

Sprinkler performance

The system needs to know how much water your sprinkler will apply per hour. To test this you need:

  • a cylindric container - any jar or utensil will do that has a uniform cylindric diameter
  • a letter or household scale that can measure to grams
  • a ruler

Put your container on the lawn and sprinkle for 1/2 hour. IMG 2373.JPG

You could now measure the water level directly with a ruler. The result will be more precise if you use the scale. Weight the container 3 times

  1. with the amount of water the sprinkler applied in 30 minutes
  2. empty
  3. the container full to a set level e.g. 10 cm

In our example we got the results:

  1. 83 g for the container with amount of water the sprinkler applied in 30 minutes
  2. 37 g for the empty container
  3. 750 g for the container full to 10 cm (100 mm)
