In this episode of DIY or Buy, we will have a closer look at a very niche project. I have a cistern in my garden that stores all the rain water from my roofs. Only problem is that I have no idea how much water is in there meaning I need some kind of water level sensor. But the Buy options for such a "niche" application are not that great. That is why I came up with my own DIY solution that might be better ;-) Let's get started!
Thanks to JLCPCB for sponsoring this video.
