Water Depth Sensor Arduino

The sensor measure water depth with very good accuracy of 0 1 mbar 1 cm water level.

Water depth sensor arduino.

It can be used to detect the presence the level the volume and. The pressure module have wide range applications ranging from liquid level measurements in tanks water depth and temperature in diving snorkeling and rov. The sensor is the analog type which produces analog output signals according to the water pressure with its detection area of 40x16mm. However one commonly known issue with these sensors is their short lifespan when exposed to a moist environment.

Connecting a water sensor to an arduino is a great way to detect a leak spill flood rain etc. In this project we will use an ethernet shield to have the arduino connect to an online datalogging service called pachube to generate graphs of water depth over time but you could also have it make decisions on the basis of the reading to control items such as a water pump or irrigation system solenoid. Theoretically when the sensor is not in the water the measured value at the sensor pin is approx 1 0855 v which would be equivalent to 1347 bits. Water sensor brick is designed for water detection which can be widely used in sensing rainfall water level and even liquid leakage.

Let s hook the water level sensor up to the arduino. First you need to supply power to the sensor. The arduino then reads the output of the transducer and reports the depth of the tank. Having power applied to.

For that you can connect the vcc pin on the module to 5v on the arduino and gnd pin to ground. Please read note 3 below for linear range and accuracy.
