Grove - Water level sensor (10 cm) for Arduino

Grove water level sensor

The Grove water level sensor is a precise sensor for water level measurement with the following properties:

• High measurement accuracy of ±5 mm
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Grove interface for easy plug-and-play
• Fully waterproof, capacitive pads for measurements up to 10 cm

Note: The protective layer on the surface of the capacitance detection area of the module should remain intact.

Caution: When measuring, the highest liquid level filled in must not exceed the white dividing line, otherwise the wiring and electronics will get wet.

Applications

• Tank overflow detection
• Applications for measuring the liquid level

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. Instructional PDF documents and a wiki are provided for Grove users (especially beginners). 

We offer various Grove Shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers.
