We're currently working on a direct sketch to printed circuit board printer for our design project. We need a sensor for the ink level since we're using a pen. Can we use this ( https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Non-contact_Liquid_Level_Sensor_XKC-Y25-T12V_SKU:_SEN0204) as a sensor even if its non-conductive type ink (normal ink we use for writing)? Thanks for the response!

 

Welcome to AAC.
Is this a school/college project?
Do you need to know simply if the ink is above or below a fixed level (which is what the linked sensor detects), or do you need to sense a range of levels?

This is for our design project in computer engineering program. We need to know if the ink is above or below ink level. Point detection.

Eh?
