Tutorial: How to use Liquid Level Detection Sensor Module Acqua Profontià

The liquid level detection sensor module is a useful component for monitoring water levels in containers or tanks. It is ideal for DIY projects such as water alarm systems, pool level counters, or other household installations that require liquid detection. This sensor is compatible with Arduino and can be used by beginners and intermediate makers.

What you need

• Arduino
• USB connection to power the Arduino
• Jumper cable to connect the sensor to the Arduino
• A water container

Steps

1. Connect the sensor pins to your Arduino following the instructions in the datasheet.
2. Power the sensor and the Arduino via the computer’s USB port.
3. Write the example sketch provided or create a new one to read data from the sensor.
4. Check that the sensor correctly detects the water level in the container.
5. Modify the sketch to suit your needs (e.g., send data over the internet).

Example code

/*
Semplificato
*/
int sensorPin = A0; // Collega il pin del sensore qui
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
float sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); // Leggi valore dal sensore
Serial.println(sensorValue); // Invia i dati al computer
}

Mini project

Create a water level alarm system that sends a notification when the water level in the tank is low.

Common mistakes

• Connect the sensor with reversed polarity.
• Do not verify the proper power supply of the sensor.
• Use an inappropriate measurement range for your water container.
• Ignore the specifications on the sensor’s datasheet.

Recommended accessories

• ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module
