The **FlowCycle Pump** is an Arduino-based controller designed to automate precise cyclic timing intervals for laboratory pump operations. It was developed as part of a scientific study at the Center for Health Sciences (CCS) at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), Brazil.

### Technical vision
12
-
This project implements a 30-minute cyclic timer that switches a pump on and off at predefined intervals, providing visual feedback on an LCD and LEDs. The cycle only starts—or restarts—when the user presses the button, allowing flexible pausing between runs.
