In this video I demonstrate
In this video I demonstrate the use of XKC-Y25-V to determine the level of you black water tanks without having to get close to the messiness inside.
While developing the ESP32 based Battery Monitor I was wondering what else I could do with these boards and realized that the black water tank sensor on Après had never worked while I had owned her. The thought of repairing it had made it low on my list of priorities and therefore it had never been fixed. The proximity of the black water tank to the Batteries means that it was a good fit for integration to the battery monitor.
The XKC-Y25-V is a 5-24V sensor that will change state when it senses something - water, liquids, metals, etc. It can be configured normally high or normally low and despite being 5-24v works fine with 3.3v - ideal for the 3.3v supply from the ESP32.
On Après I will configure the sensors with 5 spaced equally up the side of the tank but in the demonstration I use 3, extrapolate the code accordingly for your application. All the code is available on my Github repository listed below:
https://github.com/Techstyleuk/SensES...
SV Après is a 1996 Hunter 336 Captained and Maintained by Jason and usually sailing out of Milwaukee's South Shore Yacht Club in Lake Michigan, one of the US's Great Lakes. The filming is done via GoPro's, DJI Mavic drone and iPhone and spliced together a bit hap hazardly.
Here are links to the products I used - most are Amazon affiliate links, which means I get a little commission and it cost you nothing
• Firebeetle 2 ESP32-E - https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2231....
• XKC-Y25-V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/225183... or https://amzn.to/3U6mT5u
Here is a link to the SensESP documentation: https://signalk.org/SensESP/pages/get...
And here is a link to the SensESP project template that you would need, before replacing the main.cpp and platform.io from my repository: https://github.com/SensESP/SensESP-pr...
