LevelSensor "normal-open"

[EroshKA]

I want to use a normally open level sensor in my system. Can I change the code to work with such a sensor?

The code to check "fullness" of water is at

https://github.com/vitotai/BrewManiacEsp8266/blob/37abaa4f665191833882669f77456036f338f21d/src/pins.h#L224

The default code is supposed to work with "Normal Open". If the wort/water level is not high enough to trigger the level sensor, the level sensor is "Open" and the signal should be "High". When the sensor is "triggered", it should be "closed" and short the PIN to GROUND, which results in "LOW" state of the PIN.

If you get opposite result, change the code to

return (_portvalue & LevelSensorIOExpPin) !=0;

[EroshKA]

it worked so well for me

if EnableLevelSensor

// close/connected/ground: not full // open/disconnected/V+: full

if SensorNormalCloseOnNotFull

if LevelSensorOnIoExpander

bool isWaterLevelFull(void){ // _portvalue is read for button every loop cycle return (_portvalue & LevelSensorIOExpPin) !=1; }

else

bool isWaterLevelFull(void){ return digitalRead(LevelSensorPin) != 1; }

endif

else

if LevelSensorOnIoExpander

bool isWaterLevelFull(void){ // _portvalue is read for button every loop cycle return (_portvalue & LevelSensorIOExpPin) !=1; }

else

bool isWaterLevelFull(void){ return digitalRead(LevelSensorPin) == 1; }

endif

endif //#if SensorNormalCloseOnNotFull

endif // EnableLevelSensor

Thanks you
