#Arduino water sensor project driver#
Microcontroller Unit: The designed circuit shown here includes an Atmega328P-PU as the kernel, a number of LEDs to display the system status, a push button switch for auto/manual mode selection,an electromagnetic relay as the driver of the pumping motor, and a few other external components.Automatic Water Tank Pump Switch Hardware The circuit can be used to maintain the level of water in the overhead water tank within prescribed limits. Here is a simple yet effective water tank pump switcher circuit, realized using the renowned AVR microcontroller Atmega328P-PU. Since the traditional water level controller has inherent problems, many people prefer digital electronics to detect and control the water level in an intelligent manner. Suggested component layout for a double-sided pcb Meanwhile, since there are no means to detect the water level of the basement water tank, it is possible that the pumping motor will be burned if there is very low/zero water level in the basement water tank. This will cause the sensor switch to mal-function. However, the controller unit is usually placed at the top of water tank, humidity may corrode the contact points of the sensor switch. According to the positions of the floating balls/float switch, the electric connection of the pumping motor is set to be on or off.
Traditional water level controller can control the water between two levels with the help of floating balls/float switch as the sensors for level detection. Using traditional for water level controller has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. In this manner, the limited water-availability problem can be improved and the water can be used in a more efficient way if an automatic water tank pump controller is included in the setup. The water, stored in a water tank at the basement (ground) is pumped into the water tank on the roof using a pumping motor.

Therefore, many people install a water tank on the roof of the building. For the residents who live in rural-areas, limited water-availability is a very common problem.
