Construction of Water Detector / Sensor
Here is the construction of the water level sensor
The water sensor consists of 3 pins. Let us see the connections made to these pins
- The signal pin is an analog output pin that is used for taking analog input from the analog pin on the Arduino board. This pin is connected to pin number 8 on Arduino.
- The power pin (+Vcc) is used for supplying sufficient power to the sensor which ranges between 3.5V to 5V. This is connected to Arduino’s 5V supply.
- The LED is also connected to the output terminal at pin 9 of Arduino.
- The GND pin or the ground pin is used for setting a reference level in the circuit. This is connected to Arduino’s ground pin.
Arduino – Water Detector / Sensor
Sensors are widely used for detecting different quantities like the presence of light, level of water, etc. One such example of a sensor is the water sensor which uses various principles of physics to detect the presence of water. This sensor is known for detecting different water levels with accuracy and precision.
This article will talk about the design of a water sensor using the Arduino board and programming software. We will study the specifications needed for this sensor, and the methods and circuit diagrams used for designing this sensor. In order to understand the functioning of the sensor, we will study the principles of the sensor. In addition to this, we will see the Arduino code written on IDE that will result in a sensor. The article will end with some frequently asked questions that can be referred to by readers.
