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.
