System SchematicProblem Statement and Solution Architecture
The Problem & Constraints
Overhead and underground residential water tanks regularly overflow during municipal pumping or run dry without warning, causing severe water wastage and pump motor burnouts from dry running.
The Engineering Solution
Built a bench-scale embedded hardware assembly integrating a liquid level sensing interface with a microcontroller to measure fluid depth in real time, compute container volume percentage, and detect high/low boundary thresholds.
System Architecture & Operational Workflow
Bench-scale container with level sensing transducer connected to a microcontroller ADC interface, executing signal smoothing, depth quantization, and threshold logic.
Transducer Sampling
Sensor interface measures liquid distance/immersion at scheduled sampling intervals.
Signal Conditioning
Microcontroller applies median filtering to remove surface ripple noise caused by inflow splashing.
Capacity Mapping
Raw level reading is converted into discrete percentage increments (0%–100%).
Threshold Output
System updates visual status indicators and signals cutoffs when tank reaches 95% full or drops below 15%.
