A beep sound is generated when the level in the sump tank is low or if there is any fault with the sensors. 1 correct me if i am wrong but i should place the sensor 20cm above my tank maximum level. My tank looks like the one in the photo. Support this channel on patreon.

We hope you found this project useful. Now your lcd screen or serial console should be showing the water level. Download circuit diagram and programming. As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition.

The ping sensor measures distance using sonar. The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile. 2 i put const int area1 10000 for my 1 tone square tank and i got the results i need. Measure fuel level with arduino.

Finally we have completed the water level sensor arduino tutorial. Oil tank level control.

If you have a fuel or water tank that is either metal or colored plastic you may have run into the same problem i had.

Leave a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. Fuel tank level gauging. Just solved 3 the sensor must be very well placed above the water or ground if you are testing.
