Float switch (water level) with ESP32
Supply 3.3 V
Bus GPIO
Measures water level
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output (the part drives it) | D25 | To a GPIO with INPUT_PULLUP. Flip the float on its stem to swap open and closed |
| 2 | Ground | GND |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
Starter code (Arduino)
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(25, INPUT); // 1
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(digitalRead(25));
delay(100);
}
