Electronics
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W(H)

- W version comes without pre-solder header
- WH version with -> makes it easier as no soldering is requires
microSD Card
- RPi website recommands at least 16GB, recommends 32GB
- probably both to much
- Pi OS Lite has a download image size of ~500MB
- total disk space used (with dev tools) on my version is about ~3GB, so probably any size starting from 4GB should do
XL4015 DC-DC Buck Converter Module

- stepdown 12V to 5V for powering Pi
USB-C Pigtail

- only power leads requires, no data lines
- cut one of the cheap cables that often come with all sorts of cheap electronics enough
- for powering the Pi from the buck converter
- powering the Pi directly to pins also possible, but bypassed fuse
D4148 MOSFET Module

- switching valve and pump on/off
- often sold ander name "XY MOS"
1N4007 Diode

- used as flyback diode for protecting the MOSFETs
- not 100% sure if right one as no datasheet for pump motor available, seems to work though
BMP280 Atmosphere Pressure Sensor Module

- get a 3.3V version for RPi
- check datasheep if configured for I²C and address (should be 0x76, other config change needed)
- absolute pressure sensor, vacuum value needs to be calculatet using current athmospheric pressue
- could be automated using a 2nd sensor outside of vacuum
- used because cheap and available as module
- diffrential sensors more expensive and not available as module
12V DC Vacuum Pump (VN-T1)

not 100% airthight, therefore one-way-valve in tubing path to not loose vacuum
12V DC Normally Closed Solenoid Valve

12V DC Power Supply

- with 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug
- get one which fits your country power outlets
- RPi recommends 5V/2.5A for Pi 2 Zero -> 5W
- Solenoid valve state 5W
- pump 10W
- with no limit or warranty I guess 24W+ should do (for a 1 pump setup)
- I'm using a 12V/4A (48W) power brick I had lying around
Panel-Mount Socket for Barrel Plugs

- 12.6 mm outer diameter to fit hole in housing
- for 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plugs, matching the one on the 12V power brick
Screws / Fasteners

Other
PC Water Cooling Reservoir

- 16.5cm length, 5cm diameter
- used to house the pressure sensore as well as water trap
T-Connector
