Hi all.
There's a requirement in my home -a simple water level indicator. I wanna make it for my father to get informed when the watertank is getting full level. Now he's going through the ladder to the top of the house to see the status and feels difficult.
The switchboard is installed inside house and it'll be good to give an indicator there itself. My plan is to install the circuit on the top tank and power it using dc cable from downside ac adapter. Total length will be 20mtrs. So to give the indicator in downside itself, I need an extra cable feed from top making 3 wires!
I'm thinking about implement it using 555 or something like that on top to detect the water level and generate a trigger pulse and feed it via the dc cable itself and extract it downside and activate a 4017 to produce beep+visual. Is this practical for a 40KHz pulse and how can I do it.
Please put your ideas on this stuff. Not planning on commercial stuff
