Bob Johnson completed his DIY Water Level Sensor project. It can sense 4 levels of water, the results are transmitted using some Xbee devices. “The distance from my barn to the house is over 700ft.

This video shows us how to build something that should be impossible. When built you will have something that will be an interesting conversation piece. Guess how it is made before watching the entire video.
Remember the Nokia 3310 Phone Multimeter that we saw last month? Looks like there has been some massive work on the project. It is complete and looks like it works great. It’s fantastic to see a resistor plugged into the bottom of a phone! Link with steps to build your own.
