Description
The Water Level Sensor is an easy-to-use and cost-effective with high level/drop recognition sensor by having a series of parallel wires exposed traces measure droplets/water volume in order to determine the water level. Easy to complete water to analog signal conversion and output analog values can be directly read Arduino development board to achieve the level alarm effect.
Features
- Operating voltage: DC3-5V
- Operating current: less than 20mA
- Sensor Type: Analog
- Detection Area: 40mmx16mm
- Operating temperature: 10℃-30℃
- Humidity: 10% -90% non-condensing
Getting started with the Water level Sensor Module DC 3V-5V
In this tutorial you will learn how to interface water level sensor with Arduino. Water level sensor is used to measure water level in water tank or in any other equipment. In our daily life we need to detect the level of water like in water tank at the top of roof which is not directly accessible and in laboratories where specific level of any liquid is required to be monitored.
Hardware Required
- Arduino Uno
- Water level Sensor
- Jumper wires
Connecting the Hardware
Code for water level sensor interfacing with Arduino
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int val = analogRead(A0); // read input value
Serial.print("Pin Value ");
Serial.println(val);
delay(2000);
}
Testing the Circuit:
- After hardware connection, insert the sample sketch into the Arduino IDE.
- Using a USB cable, connect the ports from the Arduino to the computer.
- Upload the program.
- See the results in the serial monitor
Result:
More and more you dip the board in water the value on serial monitor keeps on increasing.
Package Include: 1×Water level Sensor Module
