This project is perfect for anyone looking for a diy method of monitoring water levels in aquariums pools decorative ponds and more with up to 0 05 inch accuracy.
Water depth sensor arduino.
For that you can connect the vcc pin on the module to 5v on the arduino and gnd pin to ground.
First you need to supply power to the sensor.
This module is designed mainly for the diy hobbyist and provide them a low cost and easy to use water level detection scheme.
The ping sensor measures distance using sonar.
Let s hook the water level sensor up to the arduino.
As shown in the water level controller circuit given below the ultrasonic sensor module s trigger and echo pins are directly connected to pin 10 and 11 of arduino.
This arduino water level indicator uses an ultrasonic sensor or ping sensor to determine the level of water in the tank.
Control pin rs rw and en are directly connected to arduino pin 7 gnd and 6.
How to use the water sensor.
Measures water pressure and depth to 30 bar 300 m 72 00 add to cart using a bar30 with most arduino including the uno mega micro and nano and other 5v microcontrollers requires an i2c logic level converter to communicate with a 3 3v device such as the bar30.
Arduino water sensor the water sensor or water level sensor is used to detect water leakage rainfall tank overflow or to measure the water level.
The arduino then reads the output of the transducer and reports the depth of the tank.

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.
Here s how to build a wireless water depth detector based off of an arduino nano.
The sensor that i will use for this tutorial can measure water level up to 40mm 4cm.
A 16x2 lcd is connected with arduino in 4 bit mode.
