Waiting for my water level sensor module to arrived for my next project!!

Going to create a very sensitive and specific water change that will change out say 1 gallon per day.

when it is working i will have it change out on a 24hrs cycle say a specific amount of water change gradually for 24 times though out the day.

also planning for my next BIG project ! gonna keep it a secret first :P

My water Level sensor module arrived today!! :superman:

As usual too anxious to set it up forgotten to take pics unboxing it .

was a breeze calibrating it! it measures the pressure using a PVC tubing and its very accurate i must say.

2 steps to calibrate.

Step 1 calibrate when device is out of water. reading 0% water level

Step 2 calibrate when device is fully submerge . Reading 100% water level

And thats it ! water Level Module calibrated.

i place it at 63% so if the water level rises to say 70% i know 1 of my return pump must have stop working. Hence i will need to do a maintenance.

will be doing a Water Change automation tomorrow. Stay Tune :big_boss:

Experiment success!!!

Tested the Automatic water change using the water level sensor!

Run it to draw water out of tank to level 50%

and fill it up to level 84%

Tested it for 10x interval of 2mins and it pass the test!!!!!!

Cool now i have set it to do water change for a start 4x a day for a week.

below is the code i use. all i do is think of what i want the controller to do and request for help on the US forum and try out the code Simple as that !

if (hour()==12 && minute()==15 && second()==0) ReefAngel.WaterChangeModeStart();

if (hour()==18 && minute()==15 && second()==0) ReefAngel.WaterChangeModeStart();

if (hour()==0 && minute()==15 && second()==0) ReefAngel.WaterChangeModeStart();

if (hour()==6 && minute()==15 && second()==0) ReefAngel.WaterChangeModeStart();

if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==WATERCHANGE_MODE)

{

if (WCstatus==0)

{

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port5);

WCstatus=1;

}

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()<=50 && WCstatus>0 && WCstatus<10) WCstatus++;

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()<=50 && WCstatus==10)

{

WCstatus=11;

ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port5);

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port6);

}

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()<=84 && WCstatus>10 && WCstatus<20) WCstatus++;

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()>84 && WCstatus==20)

{

ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port6);
