Arduino Oil Tank Level Sensor

How do you know when it s empty.

Arduino oil tank level sensor.

Support this channel on patreon. Oil tank level control. Now your lcd screen or serial console should be showing the water level. A beep sound is generated when the level in the sump tank is low or if there is any fault with the sensors.

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. 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. The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile. Finally we have completed the water level sensor arduino tutorial.

The circuit also monitors the level of water in the sump tank source tank. Download circuit diagram and programming. This arduino water level indicator uses an ultrasonic sensor or ping sensor to determine the level of water in the tank. 2 i put const int area1 10000 for my 1 tone square tank and i got the results i need.

Leave a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. The ping sensor measures distance using sonar. Measure fuel level with arduino. 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.

Just solved 3 the sensor must be very well placed above the water or ground if you are testing. 1 correct me if i am wrong but i should place the sensor 20cm above my tank maximum level. As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition.
