<strong>CHAPTER</strong> 4RESULT AND DISCUSSION4.1 SensorDistance measurement sensor is a heart of this project. It is important to find andchoose the right sensor. In order to make sure that sensor suitable and can operate asrequired, sensor testing are done.Based on sensor’s datasheet, the detection distances range is from 4 cm to 30 cm arelinear. This characteristic has to considered for determine the distance range for the waterlevel of this project.Several laboratory tests using this sensor were done to get the exact data as an inputsignal for microcontroller. <strong>The</strong> sensor have been placed in the position faced on a whitesheet of paper straight and measured the output voltage at several incremental distancesscales from the sheet of paper measured. Table 4.1 shows the reading of the four conductedtest as well as an average of the result.28
