water level metare

pls help me to build water level meter.the one i made uses 5 probes for empty,quarter,half and full.Now a want a better design.can i use uvison and simulate something. what

  • The capacitive sensor is not easy.

    If you want any sort of accuracy across temperature, you need a reference sensor (compensator) to determine the specific gravity of the fluid.

    The hardware is going to be very sensitive to interference and stray capacitance because the probe will likely have a very small capacitance, in the pF range.

    I'm not sure about the stability of an RC oscillator, I think capacitive fluid level sensors typically use a capacitance bridge to determine the value of the unknown cap. This type of system is typically used in larger aircraft fuel quantity measurement.
