Water level pipe
Water level pipe
I know that the manual says the max length of the pipe is 15". What would happen if I made it around 22" or 24"? Would it not calibrate correctly?

Roberto;
Don't you have to change some code in the Water Level.cpp?

Or has this been changed in recent library updates?rimai wrote:I still have not had the time to test it, but by looking at the libraries, you can try changing the gain.
Line 55 of WaterLevel.cpp
Change this:To this:Code: Select all
addr+=0x03; // Programmable Gain
Let me know if this helps.Code: Select all
addr+=0x01; // Programmable Gain
Re: Water level pipe
That's for when you use extra long pipe. I think for that size, it is not necessary.

Re: Water level pipe
rrodriguez was using a 23" tube in that other post and lsmsclst is taking about using a 22" or 24" tube.
Re: Water level pipe
I still think that for that length the gain change is not needed, but further test needs to be done.
Just dip the entire pipe in water and watch what the calibration number is like. If it tops up, you will need to change the gain.

Ok. Just double checking for when I start to setup my ATO & NSW system.
Re: Water level pipe
I will try it tonight and let you know.

Re: Water level pipe
Hy there
I use a 23'' (give or take), but I had to change the gain value on line 55 of WaterLevel.cpp, otherwise the reading gets nuts.
After that.. works perfectly
