Hey guys can anyone help me with a water detector included is the wiring diagram, the only thing is I am not sure I have R2 hooked up correctly.
Is R2 supposed to be a potentiometer? I couldn't find any 1M pots, so to test I just put in a regular 1M Ohm resistor
other than that everything else is wired up per diagram... I am not getting any closure on the relay with the sensor probes in water...
what am I doing wrong? I do have a couple of 100k pots, maybe I can switch out?
I rebuilt this circuit without pcb and without the relay, it seems to function correctly, but when I add in the relay, things go south...
thanks,
-Jason
