How to Use

To effectively implement this sensor as a detection mechanism in a water level detector using Arduino, connect the Water Level Sensor to an Arduino or compatible microcontroller by aligning the pins as per the circuit diagram:

1. VCC to 5V power supply, providing necessary power for a water level indicator project using Arduino.
2. GND to ground ensuring reliable operation as a detector water setup.
3. SIG to an analog input pin on the microcontroller for accurate sensor level water readings.

Calibrate the sensor by writing a simple program to read the sensor's analog values, useful for water level indication using Arduino. Secure the sensor vertically near the water tank or area to be monitored. Use Arduino code to read the analog value from the sensor pin to output water level readings. Depending on your application, such as an automatic water level controller using Arduino, use the readings to trigger actions such as turning on a pump, sending alerts, or recording data. Ensure the sensor is properly insulated when used in areas prone to condensation or direct water contact to maintain accuracy and longevity. Adjust threshold values in the code for setting up water alarms or automated responses.
