I've had a long standing requirement to use Idratek to sense the amount of water in my 600l rainharvesting tank. Ultimately this would form part of an irrigation system as well as turning the guttering diverter to collect or bypass rainwater.
As a proof of concept I experimented with a Maxbotix Ultrasound sensor which should be able to output a voltage from 0 to 2.55v which feeds a QAI (scaled to 3V as opposed to the normal level). I didn't get very good results out of the Ultrasound device and I am about to revisit this issue and start off with it connected locally to a serial port and hyperterminal.
Anyone else experimented with this type of sensor?
