Hi everybody,

I've been a viewer of the YouTube channel for a while now and recently started working on a little project involving an Arduino Nano, a floater and a relay. I've had a blast messing with it and designing my own PCB to house it al. You should have seen my face when it al worked just like I hoped it would.

So I figured it's time to get myself on the forum and see what else I can learn.

Right now I'm working on an IOT version of this project and I'll probably will be needing your help. 🙂

Kind regards,

MarkAsRead

This is a floater switch. basically a liquid pushes it upward and triggers an event. I'm using it to drain a well in my garden so it doesn't overflow when there is heavy rain. 

I've called it Project: Dry feet. 🙂

A floater is most likely a float switch. These images might give you a better idea.

Continuing last reply,

This image is of a side mounted float switch:

And if you've ever peeked inside a toilet tank you might have seen one these types of float switches:
