Liquid Level Indicator Using ULN2003
PCBway: only $5 for 10 pcbs from www.pcbway.com/?from=CZcouple
A water level indicator detects and indicates the level of water in an overhead tank and relays the information back to a control panel to indicate whether the tank has a high or low water level.
In this tutorial, I am going to use the ULN2003 IC to create a simple, inexpensive water level indicator.
Using this circuit you can easily control the wastage of water and electricity.
Watch this video, for detailed step by step instructions on how to build this circuit and to know how this circuit works. Towards the end of the video I will also discuss whether its really worth building this circuit.
Thanks

    I got lost a bit. What is the transistor for? If I understood correctly the transistor was only used to make the light blink on its own? I understand the importance of the diode. For my project I was thinking of connecting one side of the coil to 5vGND the other side the coil to a 3.3v pin (esp8266) with the diode in between. That way when pin goes high, it would power up the coil, when pin goes low it powers off the coil. What would my way of doing it not work, or be wrong? Edit: So I did see video again, and noticed relay goes on and off because of the code you put in. I've seen a couple of short videos, like this one czcams.com/video/19UNeUmvOW4/video.html that connect power straight to the coil pins.

    • @CancunManny
      @CancunManny Před 28 dny

      So I think I figured it out, but would like someone to confirm. For the coil to work it needs 5v, the adruino and esp8266 (which I am using) only have 3.3v as output. That is why we use the transistor which acts like a relay. With 3.3v the transistor "connects", providing 5v to the relay coils when then power on the NO side of the relay. Do I understand it correctly now?

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY Před 13 dny

      Yes, that is correct If you connect the relay directly to the arduino, you can end up damaging the pin. The transistor works at low voltage and allows 5v device to work seamlessly

    I think the ULN is a good choice due to it being a darlington array since a darlington has a very high gain and thus requires a small amount of current to turn on. I wonder if it would work with distilled water.

    Hello, I appreciate your video; it was very useful. I also have a question about the sensor's sensing angle. I read that this sensor doesn't have a blind spot, but I want to reduce the sensing angle. I don't need it to sense 360 degrees, just between 100 to 180 degrees. Is it possible to reduce the sensing angle of the RCWL-0516 sensor? Alternatively, can you suggest some common materials that absorb microwaves and don't affect the waves? thank you

    hi, friend. I was experimenting with this sensor and came to the conclusion that it is not useful for alarms. It is very sensitive and is triggered by the slightest movement of a branch. Furthermore, it is impossible to direct the detection beam. Lightning cannot be channeled with either aluminum foil or 2 cm thick iron. Any comment from you would be very helpful. greetings.

    Great interface devices. But beware, don't go overboard...the total emitter current for the entire package is 2.5 amps...(according to the spec sheet) or .35 A/driver; and the total package is thermal limited with a maximum Tj of 125C and 67 degC per watt Tja. So, the maximum package power dissipation is 1.5 watts, meaning each output can be loaded with a 175 ma continuous load. (Pdip in free air)
