What kind of sensor should I use to detect water leakages or droplets? I wanna build a device to protect my pc from water cooling leaks. As I understood this one works if it actually touches water.
NerfHerder777 sometimes the sensor does get warm but still check to see if u accidentally short circuited something. Do this by checking to make sure all the wires are going to the right pins.
Hi , it may be an error in your code you wrote if sensor value 0 insted and why do you use the analog ground for the led you could use the digital ground for a lighter circuit, tell me if am I wrong, best regards.
Tirsha Das I suggest you use a soil moisture sensor for that rather than a water sensor. Also if you are looking for this project to be long term you may want to invest in a more expensive soil moisture sensor because the cheap ones will corrode over time.
Hi Robotic Nation. Does this sensor need to come in contact with the water to work? I would like to use it to identify the water level of a plastic container, but I do not want the sensor to be inside the container but glued to the outside of the container. Does it work?
Sadly, the water sensor only can read data(or work) when it is touching water. Maybe use some sort of temperature sensor to detect a change in temperature when water is above a certain point ( this would only work if you are using either hot or cold water.) Just an idea. Another solution is the fasten a distance sensor(ultrasonic sensor) to your container and then have it sense how close the water is to the top of bottom of the container. You can find the code for the distance sensor here and alter it as you need: ua-cam.com/video/9oTX20deOJs/v-deo.html Thanks for reaching out!
You can simply use a weight sensor in this case lol. You gotta know the total volume of the container and the total mass of water it can carry. Then just ratio the values to calculate it. In this case, you can create your own device using a FORCE/Pressure Sensor.
Hi! I'm trying to build a water detection system. Some pipes just broke in my apartment and flooded everything. I was wondering if this kind of sensor would suit the task(placed in strategic places). If not, do you have any ideea what would fit the bill? I'm trying to achieve a warning system that would notify in case it will detect any anomally. Thanks!
Alexandru Ionita I wouldn’t use this sensor for that because it is cheap and is subject to corrosion which will prevent the sensor from giving accurate values. The more expensive sensors will not corrode. I suggest using a soil moisture sensor that is will not corrode. Even though it is technically for sensing soil moisture it should work as a water sensor. You can find these on amazon and eBay. Make sure all your electronics are concealed from water.
after the water level is sensed by the sensor can the tap close automatically. plz help me for it I want a system in which when the level is sensed the tap closes automatically
PRANJAL MANE by “tap” do you mean a water pump of some sorts? I can help you with the code if you send me all the (electronic) materials you will be using.
Atul Shukla if you want the circuit board as well as the sensor you will have to by them separately. There are some kits that sell the two combined, however those may be more expensive than just buying the products individually
Ok, I wanted to ask this question. I'm currently working on the water level indicator project using Arduino. Considering the size of water level indicator, how can I detect water levels for a bigger size bucket or a vessel or tank, and detect water level using multiple LEDs or maybe incase,RGB? Can you help me out with this?
thanks a lot it worked for me but it worked in inverse when i started it the light turned on but when i soaked it in water the light turned of but it was not a big problem btw thanks
I fixed the code link in the description, but here's the code anyways. Sorry for the inconvenience. const int waterSens = A0; //define water sensor const int led = 9;//define led to pin 9 int waterVal; //define the water sensor value void setup() { pinMode(led, OUTPUT); //set led as an output pinMode(waterSens, INPUT);//set water sensor as an input Serial.begin(9600); //start the serial port at 9600 bauds } void loop() { waterVal = analogRead(waterSens); //read the water sensor Serial.println(waterVal); //print the value of the water sensor to the serial monitor if (waterVal
Comment projects you would like me to make videos on. Thank you!
You should make a video on how to set up and code a IR sensor and remote.
I would like to see you help work on my math homework because you can probably do it better than I.
Hello I have problem plz help me .
In analoginout serial it show serial port not selected and board is null.
Plz help
Tip: If you see the LED is flashing too much, lower the sensitivity by changing: "if (waterVal

Hii brother whould you make underground water finding level and per gallon sensors.??
my sensor seems to be very hot to the touch - i dont want to break it, am i doing something wrong?

Could you share the code please
what if combined with the buzzer and automatic pump when the water is full
Can the water sensor be used to detect muddy, paddy areas

Hello. Is it possible to wet wastes? Kinda not so wet?
Raven Dale Robles I wouldn’t recommend it because it may ruin the sensor

Hi Robotic Nation. How to make a coding where water sensor and song using piezo are together
Marscella Ling I can make a video showing you how to do this.

What is the Name of that circuit and the device used ?
the circuit board is called an arduino
very cool Robotic Nation!
I so agree with this comment. Nice to see the community spend their time in doing things that are nice :)
nice vid and i've tried, but can the maximum value of this sensor reach 1023?
can we convert value of diped sensor into a specif unit like, cm, mm, meter etc ,,,,, anyone plz can guid us ?
I am pretty sure you are not supposed to put exposed electronic circuit boards on the carpet, cause that can cause a static shock.
I am using a very insignificant power source so it won't cause any harm. The arduino only puts out 5V at the most, which is not dangerous.
i need its document

Mohammed Zaid Shaikh you will most likely have to use multiple water sensors to measure the
Water level of a tank but it depends on how big it is and the intervals of water level

You can use this water sensor as a touch sensor also.
Ofcouse but apply water before touching
How far can you dip that sensor in
Jorge Alvarez do not submerge it further than where the copper lines end. Definitely do not submerge the wires.
Will it work with arduino nano
Beaconite Sahiwal Boys yes
Is this sensor use to measure the quality of water?
Rathanak Seng no, it is used to measure if water is present or not.
