Connect power supply 6V (-) to the pump motor black wire(-)
Connect power supply 6V (-) to relay pin(com)
Connect Valve black wire (-) to relay pin (NO)
Connect Capacitive touch button pin [VCC] to Arduino 5V pin
Connect Capacitive touch button pin [GND] to Arduino GND pin
Connect Capacitive touch button pin [SIG] to Arduino digital pin [8]
Start Visuino, and Select the Arduino UNO Board Type
The Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu also needs to be installed. Download the free version or register for a free trial.
Start Visuino as shown in the first picture. Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino. When the dialog appears, select "Arduino UNO" as shown in Picture 2
In Visuino Add,Set & Connect Components
Add "Detect Edge" component
Add "Toggle(T) Flip-Flop" component
Connect Arduno digital pin 8 to DetectEdge1 pin In
Connect DetectEdge1 pin Out to TFlipFlop1 pin Clock
Connect TFlipFlop1 pin Out to Arduino digital pin 7
Generate, Compile, and Upload the Arduino Code
In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.
Play
If you power the Arduino UNO module and press the button, the suction pump will start to run, and you can lift something with it. If you press the button again, it will drop the item.
Congratulations! You have completed your project with Visuino. Also attached is the Visuino project that I created for this; you can download it and open it in Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu
