Arduino Oil Tank Level Sensor

This arduino water level indicator uses an ultrasonic sensor or ping sensor to determine the level of water in the tank.

Arduino oil tank level sensor. 2 i put const int area1 10000 for my 1 tone square tank and i got the results i need. Just solved 3 the sensor must be very well placed above the water or ground if you are testing. Measure fuel level with arduino. 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.

As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition. Leave a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. Now your lcd screen or serial console should be showing the water level. The circuit also monitors the level of water in the sump tank source tank.

Download circuit diagram and programming. Support this channel on patreon. 1 correct me if i am wrong but i should place the sensor 20cm above my tank maximum level. 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.

The ping sensor measures distance using sonar. Oil tank level control. My tank looks like the one in the photo. A beep sound is generated when the level in the sump tank is low or if there is any fault with the sensors.

How do you know when it s empty. Finally we have completed the water level sensor arduino tutorial. The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile.
