The Main Device

• First, when the Arduino boots up, serial port initialization will be carried out to
communicate with Arduino with the DO circuits with turbidity and
Temperature along with the HC-05 Bluetooth and RTC.
• Next, the Arduino will wait and will start acquiring data from the sensors.

• upon receiving the data,it waits for a predefined time until the results were obtained.
• a command will be sent to the Arduino to save these data in a readable format.

• the transmission will be started using Bluetooth connection.

• quick notification will be displayed on the LCD screen showing that data are
being transmitted.
Software Design

User Interface

• The Water Quality Real-time Monitoring Application will be

developed using the MIT Application Inventor.
