Arduino Water Level Meter

The 1 meter height is divided into 3 reference levels of water at quarter half and three quarter depth of the tank taken in centimeters.

Arduino water level meter.

An ultrasonic well above human hearing pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance to target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return. Here is a tested arduino project that uses 3 sensor probes as water level indicator with 3 leds and one lcd display a simple controller that turns on a motor when the water has reached the desired level the highest in our case. The transmitter circuit makes use of an ultrasonic sensor to measure the water. The water percentage is calculated and displays in the lcd.

Hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor interfacing distance measuring using arduino. Also it can be used for your schoo. This simple but useful project based on arduino nano. This arduino water level indicator uses an ultrasonic sensor or ping sensor to determine the level of water in the tank.

Measuring water level with ultrasonic sensor. For my next big project automated plant watering system i was in need of having water level meter. You can use only the leds if you want the lcd is optional. The lcd in the receiver unit displays the water level as a long bar.

One output gpio pin is directly connected to the water level sensor and sends a 3 3 v signal to the sensor with a duration of just 200 milliseconds. I was choosing from contact and contactless methods of measuring fluid level in tank. Check out the schematic prototype and video below. Thus the arduino water level indicator helps in preventing wastage of water in overhead tank.

In this project two circuits are used. The esp 32 is powered with 5 v from the usb port and has a 3 3v regulator on board. In the program the distance values are adjusted for a water tank of 1 meter height. A transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit.

Contact methods are resistive method capacitive and inductive. The ping sensor measures distance using sonar. This project is wireless so it is easy to install and it can work up to 100 meters. Project tutorial by newmc.

Water level meter using the ultrasonic sensor to sense the water level and esp8266 01 to send the data over wifi. This meter sense the water level using an ultrasonic sensor placed under the lid of the tank and sends the data via a wireless transmitter to the receiver unit.
