Introduction: Digital Water Level Meter With Arduino
this tutorial shows you how to make a digital water level meter with arduino and color display
Step 1: Parts
*Any arduino board
*ili9341 tft display
*5 x 2.2k resistors ,5 x 3.3k resistors
*ultrasonic sensor
Step 2: Connection
Connect display to arduino as above.
resisters are used to convert 5v logic to 3.3. because ili9341 is only working with 3.3v signals.
otherwise whole screen will be filled with white.
*ultra sonic
Trig pin > Arduino pin 5
Echo pin > Arduino pin 6
Step 3: Code
upload this code - and change above mention lines if necessary
or copy this
