ESP8266 Water Level Sensor Project
This project demonstrates how to use an ESP8266 microcontroller to monitor water levels using a water level sensor. Water level sensors are essential in various applications such as water tanks, irrigation systems, and industrial equipment where monitoring water levels is crucial.
Components Needed
- ESP8266 Microcontroller
- Water Level Sensor
- Jumper Wires
- Breadboard
Circuit Diagram
Circuit Setup
1.Connecting the Water Level Sensor to ESP8266:
Connect the analog output pin of the water level sensor to analog pin A0 on the ESP8266.
Ensure a common ground (GND) connection between the ESP8266 and the water level sensor.
Instructions
1.Setup:
Initialize serial communication at a baud rate of 9600 for debugging purposes.
2.operation:
In the loop() function:
considerations:
Sensor Calibration: Calibrate the water level sensor according to the range and type of liquid being measured.
accuracy: Ensure stable power supply and proper placement of the sensor for accurate readings.
deployment: Securely mount the sensor in the water tank or system to maintain consistent measurements.
Applications
Water Management Systems: Monitor water levels in tanks or reservoirs.
Irrigation Systems: Control irrigation based on water level readings.
Industrial Applications: Prevent overflow or ensure adequate water supply in industrial processes.
Notes
Analog Output: The water level sensor provides an analog output that varies based on the water level, which is then mapped to a percentage for easier interpretation.
Serial Output: Use the Serial Monitor to observe and debug water level sensor readings and operations.
