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.
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
- with the amount of water the sprinkler applied in 30 minutes
- empty
- the container full to a set level e.g. 10 cm
In our example we got the results:
- 83 g for the container with amount of water the sprinkler applied in 30 minutes
- 37 g for the empty container
- 750 g for the container full to 10 cm (100 mm)
Downloads
- sprinkler.jar - multiplatform Java
- sprinkler.exe - Windows executable
Build
git clone https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.sprinkler
cd com.bitplan.sprinkler
mvn install -D skipTests
Test
cd com.bitplan.sprinkler
mvn test
