Analog liquid level sensor

Tue Aug 21, 2018 10:05 pm

How can I connect this sensor to Pi3? The resistance is 240-33 Ohm. And it has only two wires. Thanks for any help.

In my phone I could not get access to the documents at your provided link.
However, I think it works similar to variable resistor. And you need some additional hardware to measure it. Because this sensor is analog. You need a ADC to properly translate the signal for your pi.

Hi and thanks for reply. I figure out that part with ADC but is there someone who already did it and can help me with specific details of connecting it. Image

Okay. Basically You need one extra resistor in series with your sensor. In that why you made a voltage divider. And that can you read in with your ADC. And translate it in code to the right level.

I'm not able now to give you a schematic.
