hi,
is there any level sensor available which behaves in same way as LM35 behaves??? i.e it should convert level to voltage as LM35 converts temperature to voltage Sad Sad i have to use it with 8051
any info about such stuff Huh Huh

If you could say what kind of level you want to sense ...

Is it water level in a tank , ....., Grain - sand in a Bin Huh? ,.... level - rspsect to horizontal / vertical Huh?

explain a little    Grin

Hello,abbas
I try to design water tank content regulator
and temperature monitor but i use ATMega 8,herein I utilize sersor level with potensio that at connective with water float

For non-contact level measurement try to google "ultrasonic level sesor".

am working in a waste water treatment plant we do use several ultrasonic level sensor from siemens , i can say that i have a stable value when the pumps are pumping or not no fluctuation as these sensor s have an error correction , the model is echomax

For a stable measurement, filtering and averaging usually needed.

For example, if an ADC of a microcontroller is used for converting the analog value of the sensor then a simple step to do that is just like:

1. Get some number of samples, let say 10 samples
2. Discard the lowest and highest value
3. Average the values of the rest 8 samples
4. Display the result.

i agree, i think we can get stable values in dis way.let me try this Wink

I have used a pressure sensor as a level sensor as well...this is a common method in industry as well.

Hi abbas1707,

I am using ultrasonic level sensors. The name of the sensors are pulsar and Mobrey. This two sensor can convert the water level in current(4-20mA) or in tension(0-10V). These are very good material in my opinion.

See theese sites:
http://www.pulsar-us.com/
http://www.mobrey.com

I hope that this can help you
