Which presentation to use for a Turbidity Sensor?

Shiny Hardware Contributor last edited by

I'm using this analog sensor: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1394.html

and I saw there's a S_WATER_QUALITY
but I'm not sure what V_ to use.

The sensor basically measures how transparent the liquid is, to detect if gunk is growing in your water tank or pipe.

How is this project holding up? Is it still running and was it accurate?

Hello Tilman, this is really a very nice design. I have ordered a pack of PCBs from elecrow, based on your gerber files, and have a few questions: in your BOM you have listed 5 smd-capacitors and 7 smd resistors, but on the PCB i have solderpads for 6 capacitors and 8 resistors. Can you just explain? is there a uniflächentaster-model for 2 ways? i think i have to flash the bootloader first, do you have a tutorial for this, and a sample-sketch for the board? Thank you very much

@ZenBlizzard in case you are measuring the output with a multimeter, you will get an averaged level, since AC current waveform should be sinusoidal and overlapped with the Vcc/2->2.56V in your case. To measure the current you need a decently high sampling and some math. #define SENSITIVITY 66 // mV/A const float readings = 5; const float alpha = 2.0 / (2 * readings + 1); for (ifor = 0; ifor < 250; ifor++) { // Voltage voltageSampleRead = analogRead(V) * vccRead / 1023 - vccRead / 2; /* read the sample value including offset value*/ voltageSampleSum = voltageSampleSum + sq(voltageSampleRead); /* accumulate total analog values for each sample readings*/ voltageSampleOffsetSum = voltageSampleOffsetSum + voltageSampleRead; // Current currentSampleRead = analogRead(I) * vccRead / 1023 - vccRead / 2; /* read the sample value including offset value*/ currentSampleSum = currentSampleSum + currentSampleRead * currentSampleRead; /* accumulate total analog values for each sample readings*/ currentSampleOffsetSum = currentSampleOffsetSum + currentSampleRead; wait(1); } voltageMean = voltageSampleSum / ifor; /* calculate average value of all sample readings taken*/ voltageOffset = voltageSampleOffsetSum / ifor; reading = (sqrt(voltageMean) - voltageOffset) * 230.0 / 1.0; // read voltage / reported voltage. voltage = round_to_dp(alpha * reading + (1 - alpha) * voltage,1); Serial.println(voltage); if (voltage < 25) voltage = 0; currentMean = currentSampleSum / ifor; /* calculate average value of all sample readings taken*/ currentOffset = currentSampleOffsetSum / ifor; reading = (sqrt(currentMean) - currentOffset) / SENSITIVITY * 1000 - currentZeroOffset; // subtract no load current. if (reading < 0) reading = 0; current = round_to_dp( alpha * reading + (1 - alpha) * current,2);

New to electronics and progamming.... hence excuse rather dumb nature of my query .. recently purchase the Devduino V2.2 OTA version and am trying to figure out if the device comes pre loaded with the arduino bootloader. ??

@mr_red I have a zipped snapshot of all the 3d step/wrl models that I used to build my projects so far. It was quite some work to gather them all and align with the footprints using the kicad stepup tools. It's not complete - still needs some more work:simple_smile: but it should help you or anyone else to get started into MCAD integration using FreeCAD and kicad stepup tools. Maybe it's not very easy to start when using free tools but hey they are "FREE" so we cannot ask for more. But the nice thing is that once you get used it will be really easy to do your stuff and to go forward. Oh and FreeCAD can be so powerful after you learn it - I was really amazed what you can do with it(it has it's quirks and downsides but once you master it - oh, well...). There's also: https://www.onshape.com/ - pretty powerful this one too and it has more advanced features than FreeCAD but the downside is that it's a cloud based solution: it's free for public documents but you never know when they will go to paid accounts only so yeah...I don't really like the idea to depend on something that it's hosted and the application is not on my PC along with the documents that I create with it. Cloud solutions have their flexibility but you're locked and you depend entirely on that hosted service. Ok, enough talking...I uploaded the zip file here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/kzh1l9uo40cpj1u/kicad_stepup_packages.zip

I have success! (oops, that's suppose to be Timer1) I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.) Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox. If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared. //------------------------------------------------------ISR ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect){ // interrupt service routine for overflow TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // must be first line! starts the timer counting again digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,HIGH); samplesVolts[--sample]=analogRead(VOLTS_IN_PIN); // decrement before capturing samplesCurrent[sample]=analogRead(CURRENT_IN_PIN); digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,LOW); if (!sample){ // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,LOW); // indicate that sampling is complete samplingEnd = micros(); TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer } } //------------------------------------------------------sampleOneCycle void sampleOneCycle(){ // back up timer registers uint8_t TCNT1_b = TCNT1; uint8_t TCCR1B_b = TCCR1B; uint8_t TCCR1A_b = TCCR1A; uint8_t TIMSK1_b = TIMSK1; // configure timer which starts the sampling noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts TCCR1A = 0; TCCR1B = 0; TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // preload timer //TCCR1B |= (1 << CS10)|(1 << CS12); // 1024 prescaler TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer? TIMSK1 |= (1 << TOIE1); // enable timer overflow interrupt ISR // demark sampling sample = NUMBER_OF_SAMPLES; // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,HIGH); samplingStart = micros(); TCNT1 = 65535; // first trigger right away! TCCR1B |= 1; // turns on timer interrupts(); // enable all interrupts // wait for sampling to be complete while(digitalRead(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN)){}; samplingEnd = micros(); // restore timer registers TCNT1 = TCNT1_b; TCCR1B = TCCR1B_b; TCCR1A = TCCR1A_b; TIMSK1 = TIMSK1_b; }
