Fuel Tank Level Sensor Arduino

The arduino compares the reflected ultrasonic time with the reference time of the tank full height and creates an estimation of the instantaneous height or the level of the fuel.

Fuel tank level sensor arduino.

Supplies power for the sensor. Paramotor fuel sensor and gauge. Ultrasonic fuel tank level sensor also called non contact fuel meter is an electronic level transmitter measuring continuous liquid level fluid level or oil level. How do you know when it s empty.

The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile. Ult 200a ultrasonic level transmitter taking the advantages of various many levels measuring instruments is a universal one characterized. Tankfulldepth the level at which you want the sensor to show 100. S signal pin is an analog output pin and will always be connected to the analog inputs pin in arduino.

The information is then encoded and forwarded it to the nrf24l01 wireless module. It has been built for a parajet macro and the. The reason for tankemptydepth is obvious from the diagram above but tankfulldepth might be a bit of a mystery. If you look at the image above you ll notice that when the tank is full the liquid level will still be below the sensor maybe by about 15cm.

Analog output will vary depending on the voltage provided to the sensor. Here is a home built capacitive fuel sensor for a paramotor. If you have a fuel or water tank that is either metal or colored plastic you may have run into the same problem i had. As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition.

It is based on a sensor made from an aluminium tube and rod and arduino microcontroller an lm3914 bargraph chip and 10 superbright leds. Vcc pin is the power supply pin for the sensor.
