Currently doing a project and the tittle is Rainfall Data Measurement. The summary work flow of the flow is shown as below:
Collect RainFall Data into a bucket (Unit - mm) -> System measuring the height of rain water accumulated in the bucket -> Send data to pc at 30m~50m far from the bucket for data recording.
I planning to install a capacitance based circuit into the bucket and measure the capacitance of the rain water. While the rain water level rising, capacitance increase as well and finally the voltage decrease. Thus the voltages at each height(mm) are different. These voltages value will be read by the microProcessor/Arduino. And finally send the signal to the CPU.
Thus i have few questions to ask about my idea:
1) Is this idea possible to work out?
2) I using battery power supply, is it possible to work more than 3 days without changing the batteries and without any other alternative UPS.
3) Any methods on how to transmit data to 30-50m receiver with low power supply .
Thank you very much for any ideas proposed to me. This is my email: JargoJim@outlook.com
