Arduino oil tank level sensor.

As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition. Now your lcd screen or serial console should be showing the water level. Just solved 3 the sensor must be very well placed above the water or ground if you are testing. Finally we have completed the water level sensor arduino tutorial.

Leave a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. If the level in side the sump tank is low the motor will not be switched on and this protects the motor from dry running. My tank looks like the one in the photo. The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile.

1 correct me if i am wrong but i should place the sensor 20cm above my tank maximum level. Measure fuel level with arduino. 2 i put const int area1 10000 for my 1 tone square tank and i got the results i need. This arduino water level indicator uses an ultrasonic sensor or ping sensor to determine the level of water in the tank.

We hope you found this project useful. Fuel tank level gauging. A beep sound is generated when the level in the sump tank is low or if there is any fault with the sensors. How do you know when it s empty.

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. Download circuit diagram and programming. The ping sensor measures distance using sonar.
