Abstract:
This research work presents the design and construction of a micro-controller-based wireless water level control system. The need to bring a solution to the problem of water shortage in various places by eliminating one of the culprit; waste of water during pumping and dispensing into overhead thanks, calls for an automated control system which puts into consideration, means of avoiding mechanical tears and wears that arises with the use of robes as water level sensor, through the incorporation of wireless water level sensor in place of robes in sensing the water level in the modeled tank. To solve this problem, circuit analysis and design, of the five main sub-circuitry units, this includes: power supply unit, logic and switching circuitry unit, relay unit, LCD display unit was carried out using ultrasonic water level sensor, AT89S51 microcontroller, LCD module relay circuitry system and a few discrete components. The design of the controller in this scenario is not just cost effective but helps in avoiding mechanical tears and wears that arises with the use of robes as water level sensor, by providing an improvement on existing water level control system through the incorporation of wireless water level sensor in place of robes in sensing the water level in the modeled tank.
