If I can't get my water tank level to show on the WD unit, then I thought it might be useful to show the monthly and yearly rainfall in place of the Srad and UV lines (which I have no use for at this stage). I'll have a go with the software and see what I can come up with.
Quote:Unless you have direct access to the sensor output, I don't see how to use it. Just for curiosity, do you have any reference or link to the sensor manufacturer?When you talk about "direct access to the sensor output", what is required? With the connection to my PC, I wrote a little script in AutoIt which talks to the depth gauge, takes the 20 character string and strips away everything that isn't part of the depth value. Then it calculates the water tank level as a percentage and reports the depth and % values. I got the gauge from http://www.electrosense.com.au/liquid-level.htm but mine is hardwired via the serial cable, rather than being the wireless version (hardwired was cheaper).
