  • This video is about a project on Internet of things. It involves measuring the water level of my overhead water tank using Raspberry Pi and an ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04. Raspberry Pi is programmed to take the water level readings every minute and send the data to a remote custom Web Application hosted in a far off location. The custom Web Application provides a real-time update of the water tank level.

    I am a user of this project and after a few months of use I can assure you that I am very happy with how it works. Just one observation: in large tanks with top filling, while the water is entering the waves are produced, they give erroneous readings to the ultrasonic sensor (since the waves do not bounce in a straight line). During the emptying, with calm water, the readings are perfect and stable. I will try to place some kind of cone-shaped plastic bottleneck in the sensor area to see if reception improves during filling.

    Hi, Jitesh, very interesting your project and I have a question, in the video you show the case when the raspberry pi and the server are in different locations and in the example code I see the case when the rpi and the server are in the same LAN. Is any other change that I need to perform (appart from IP) if I use for example an AWS EC2 server (cloud) and RPI ? Thanksin advance

    • @jitesh_helloworld
      @jitesh_helloworld  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you. Nice observation. So the code is to assist you to replicate the setup in your LAN in case you do not have access to external webspace.. No change is required in the code apart from the IP, as you correctly brought it out. Just ensure the the raspberry pi is connected to internet while you try to upload data to external server. Just copy the 'web_host' folder in the your AWS server and prepare a mysql database with name 'water_level' and import the 'water_level.sql' file so that you have the database setup which the application will require. Ensure the database credentials are entered correctly in 'db_params_wt.php' file (inside 'watertank' folder). All the best and let me know if you are able to set it up

      Just wrapped it up nicely with plastic (shown in video at 2:39) and placed it inside a plastic container to protect it from water splashes . Working temperature range of this sensor is approx -25° C to +70° C. I guess it is a pretty good range for a low cost sensor. Its already sustaining the summer heat for past one month and performing well.

      For the purpose of tank animation, you need to configure lowerLimit and upperLimit values in "tank_animation.js" file. In you case, total height of the tank is 20+190. So, lowerLimit can be 0 and upperLimit can be 210 cm.

    Raspberry Pi works on about 3V/5V, and the ultrasonic sensor has around 4 pins to be connected. I see you have used an ethernet cable to tackle it, good job with that. But since you're running the cable between Pi at home and the sensor on the tank site, wouldn't the long cable result in voltage drop, erroneous readings and miscellaneous interferences. What's the length of the ethernet cable you're using and the VCC supplied through it?

    • @jitesh_helloworld
      @jitesh_helloworld  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @youuu1588

      no cable is needed. You just make sure that your wifi signals reaches up to your tank and install rasp-pi on the tank lid just insert a 5 volt supply to it there and it will get connected to the internet.

    • @jitesh_helloworld
      @jitesh_helloworld  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes you can make an app. The app need to fetch the data from raspberry pi over LAN either through socket programming or reading mysql database running locally on pi. In case, the app needs to work over internet, you need to figure out the data exchange mechanism. As far as reliability is concerned, this 150/- rs sensor is working for past 6 months, every minute, without any problem. Seems to be quite reliable

    I considered using an ultrasonic sensor to measure the water height (as shown in this video) and it works well in this setting - but if I should installed it in an actual rain water tank, the sensor will get wet (from humidity and condensation in the tank) and it will just end up corroding. Does anyone know a way around this ?
    I plan to use a water pressure sensor (4-20mA sensor) to measure the water pressure instead - this way I can determine how much water is in my rain tank.

      You can use other microcontrollers such as ESP32 & Arduino with built-in wifi to achieve the same. However, you need to write the code for interfacing the sensor and uploading the data to remote server.

    • @jitesh_helloworld
      @jitesh_helloworld  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best way to learn is by start building small projects using a raspberry pi. You already know Python, so I won't be a problem at all. Start with simple programs to control GPIO pins and Pi camera using Python. Soon you will be craving for advanced stuff. You can see the beginner examples at projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects
      Again, learning with experimentation is the best way. Internet is full of treasures, whatever you need to know is available on first page of google search.
