It seems like Bob Blick had the best idea for the cheapest way of measuring water level in a pipe. There is an application note for the LM3909 that describes a setup (electronic trombone) whereby a speaker will emit a sound tone at the resonant frequency of the sound box. I only have to measure this frequency with a PIC to get the water level. I will obviously have to experiment a bit to see how repeatable and reliable it is. Thanks Tom, Bob, Clyde, and the other folks who have helped so far. -- Friendly Regards Tjaart van der Walt mailto:tjaart@wasp.co.za Add your voice !! Vote at the Great G Com Public Vote.
