The ideal is to adapt and match sensors to try to achieve the similar.
Water depth sensor raspberry pi.
To measure depth you must not have a fixed mount on the surface or you could just measure how far you ve lowered the sensor.
Raspberry pi ultrasonic distance sensor.
When water is detected the raspberry pi emails out an alert to a recipient group and calls a phone number list via voip playing a stored wave file with a spoken alert phrase.
These raspberry pi sensors are addressed via the so called 1 wire bus.
The raspberry pi reads the status of one or two water sensor device s on one or two of its gpio pins.
Connect multiple sensors to the pi using just one pin.
However these modules can not measure additional information such as humidity and or air pressure.
The processing of raspberry pi is still very low for this type of experiment.
Set up a raspberry pi temperature sensor my hydropi this tutorial will show you how to set up the 1 wire ds18b20 waterproof temperature sensor on your raspberry pi.
The plus and minus pins go to 3 3 v and ground respectively.
Small piece of rigid plastic copper tape wire breadboard jumpers mtm and ftf tools soldering iron keyboard screen etc get the script onto the raspberry pi the water sensor making the sensor see.
An optional bi color led connected in series with 330 ω resistors to gpio 14 and 15 provides feedback.
Logging and trend analysis via the thingspeak iot platform and the python data libraries pandas numpy matplotlib.
When the sensor is in presence of water it creates a short circuit to ground and pin 15 will go into low state.
The water level sensor s s pin is connected to ch0 adc channel 0.
Or you could be talking about the level in a.
Build the circuit as depicted in figure 1.
An advantage is that many different 1 wire components can be connected in series and read out by a single gpio.
Bill of materials raspberry pi type b 10μf capacitor piezo buzzer that works between 3 3 and 5 volts.
The ds18b20 and ds18s20 represents a very simple sensor.
Raspberry pi project to monitor water depth in a rainwater tank using a hc sr04 ultrasound sensor and cross reference these to weather conditions.
