Oil Tank Sensor Arduino

This sensor is designed to fit a standard american 225 gallon heating oil tank.

Oil tank sensor arduino.

From time to time it may be necessary to remove the ultrasonic sensor for cleaning. Range up to 250 cm ground distance also height of the tank. Turns on the motor requires motor driver amplifier below a given value and turns off it above a given value after filling the liquid. I m also programming it in assembly using an atmel tiny2313 chip.

Works with any liquid water oil etc. 7 tank projects arduino robot with gopro camera and fpv function controlled from iphone via bluetooth or obstacle avoidance with ultrasonic sensor. I m building one but it s a couple of projects down the road but i just ordered the waterproof sensor. Finally we have completed the water level sensor arduino tutorial.

Now your lcd screen or serial console should be showing the water level. Liquid level sensor detects the level of the liquid from a ground level. With the ultrasound solution i referred to earlier there is a unit in the uk that has the sensor tx link and receiver for around 50 called a watchman designed for monitoring the level of oil tanks. Arduino robot w gopro and fpv iphone control via bluetooth.

For example oil may splash on it when the tank is filled. Leave a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. As the tank empties the float drops and slides a moving contact along the resistor increasing its resistance 2 in addition. Fuel tank level gauging.

What i m doing to compensate for the 25cm is to use a pipe above the oil tank input so the sensor sits higher above the tank. Oil tank level control. It should work with any other tank having an available 2 threaded port on the top. The sensing unit usually uses a float connected to a potentiometer typically printed ink design in a modern automobile.
