Thinking of making a water level detection for my aquarium/dehumidifier that can send readings to online via POST data over WiFi.
Items ordered:
- Ebay: Arduino clone WeMos D1 CH340 WiFi Size Development Board ESP8266 ESP-12F Fit For Arduino UNOR3 4MB
- Ebay: Arduino cables wire jumper for breadboard Female to Male 30cm, expecting 40x.
- Ebay: 2pcs Water Level Sensor Depth of Detection Water Sensor for Arduino
Expecting delivery by early March as some are shipped from China for low cost.
Intro into Arduino: This youtuber gives a simple intro into Arduino, clearing all confusion and myths about it. Basically an Arduino is a microcontroller that has analog pins (for analog devices, most just need 1 analog pin, such as this water level sensor), digital pins, GND (ground), USB connection, power connector, Wifi (built-in my my WeMos case), 5 (or 3) volt input/output.
How do write POST data to server with Arduino Uno with WiFi (Arduino clone: WeMos in my case):
