Abstract

This paper presents the water tank depth sensor system design for measurement of water
level using arduino software. Here we used a float to measure the water resistance, and from that
measurement it calculates how full the tank is. This sensor switches ON the pump when the water
level in the tank goes low and switches it OFF as soon as the water level reaches a pre-determined
level. The sensor analog output is fed to the arduino board as a input signal. The Arduino then
reads the height of the water and reports the depth of the tank.

The same program is interfaced with labview and in the front panel of labview which we
can visually see the level of water tank and how the motor is ON and OFF depend on the water
level requirement.
