Hello Guys
I am looking to build a simple water level detector and exploring the option of a suitable method. The objective is to measure peak level. The sensors need to be around sense around 2-3m range.
1.Use Ultrasonic sensors, but do they go that far?
2.Use infrared tx/rx pair, probably need to factor the reflective nature of the liquid?
3.) Use a pressure sensor with a tube, the ammount of water in the tube affect the pressure of the sensor.
Any suggestions, ideas on which might be the appropriate method?
Thanks
Jay
