Talk about doing it the hard way. This is a beginner bulb & battery level electronics exercise.

Depends on you POV, the author already wrote the code and (clone)
'Duinos and the sensor used are dirt cheap.
Plus it met both the "push to read" and actual water level remit

It can be done easily for nothing with household electronic scraps. Arduinos aren't that cheap. And no, I won't be telling Jim how. If he thinks he knows what he's doing he can figure it out or not.


Did you get that lightswitch wired in yet?

If that was directed at me, what lightswitch?

No, Jim. He made that job far harder that it need be too.


Sigh, another interesting thread degenerating into a waste of space
because of willy waving - c'mon chaps, nothing is gained by this.


I accept Jim thinks I'm as clueless as he is, and don't care. Idiots always think everyone else is equally idiotic. No, I'll stop there. In fact I won't come back to read his reply. There is nothing constructive to add.
