Code Examples
### Example 1: Arduino pH Level Measurement
In this example, we'll use an Arduino Uno board to read the pH level of a solution using the Analog pH Sensor Electrode with Amplifier Circuit.
```c++
const int pHPin = A0;  // Analog input pin for pH sensor
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(pHPin);
  float voltage = sensorValue  5.0 / 1024.0;
  float pH = 7 + (voltage - 2.5) / 0.059;
  Serial.print("pH Level: ");
  Serial.println(pH, 2);
  delay(1000);
}
```
This code reads the analog voltage from the pH sensor, converts it to a pH level, and prints it to the serial monitor.
### Example 2: Raspberry Pi pH Logger with Graphing
In this example, we'll use a Raspberry Pi to read the pH level of a solution, log the data to a CSV file, and display a graph of the pH levels over time using the `matplotlib` library.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import csv
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
pH_pin = 18
def read_pH():
    GPIO.setup(pH_pin, GPIO.IN)
    voltage = GPIO.input(pH_pin)  5.0 / 1024.0
    pH = 7 + (voltage - 2.5) / 0.059
    return pH
def main():
    with open('pH_log.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvfile:
        writer = csv.writer(csvfile)
        writer.writerow(['Time', 'pH Level'])
        while True:
            pH = read_pH()
            writer.writerow([time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), pH])
            time.sleep(60)  # Log data every 1 minute
            if time.time() - start_time > 3600:  # Plot graph every 1 hour
                break
plt.plot([row[0] for row in csv.reader(open('pH_log.csv', 'r'))], 
             [float(row[1]) for row in csv.reader(open('pH_log.csv', 'r'))])
    plt.xlabel('Time')
    plt.ylabel('pH Level')
    plt.title('pH Level Over Time')
    plt.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start_time = time.time()
    main()
```
This code reads the pH level every minute, logs it to a CSV file, and plots a graph of the pH levels over time using `matplotlib`.
### Example 3: ESP32 pH Monitoring with Wi-Fi
In this example, we'll use an ESP32 board to read the pH level of a solution, send the data to a remote server via Wi-Fi, and display the pH level on a web page.
```c++
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
const char serverUrl = "http://your_remote_server.com/pH_level";
WiFiClient client;
HTTPClient http;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  http.begin(client, serverUrl);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(32);  // ESP32 analog input pin
  float voltage = sensorValue  5.0 / 4096.0;
  float pH = 7 + (voltage - 2.5) / 0.059;
  http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  int httpResponseCode = http.POST("pH_level=" + String(pH));
  http.end();
  delay(60000);  // Send data every 1 minute
}
```
This code connects to a Wi-Fi network, reads the pH level, and sends the data to a remote server using the `HTTPClient` library. The pH level is displayed on a web page hosted on the remote server.
