G'day,
I want this to be really simple. (Then maybe advance to more complex scenarios depending on how this goes).
Rather than measuring quality I am focusing purely on level.
I have a couple of ideas in mind...
1) A potentiometer type (displacement transducer)...
When a float moves in a tank (with the level) then a resistance is changed which when calibrated relates to a change in level.
2) Some sort of tank or tubing with relays (switching devices which are closed by a magnetic field) and having a magnetic on a float which moves with the fluid level.
NOTE: I am keeping things really basic at the moment. eg) A stationary fuel tank/container.
I have these basic ideas but do not know where to start in terms of implementing either of these ideas.
If anyone has any practical suggestions or ideas for circuitry etc. it would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
Thanks in advance
