Octopus Electronic Bricks! You can use them build electronics projects just as easy as piling bricks! By using Octopus electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino or compatible boards easily with various digital, analog and I2C/Uart interfaces. These breadboard-less firm connections includes an extensive collection of modules like potentiometers, sensors, relays, servos, and even buttons.  Just plug and play!

Octopus Water level Sensor is the water level electric brick in our Octopus series! It uses the  basic design footprint of other Octopus electric bricks;, it has the same orientation, fixing holes, and connectors.

Octopus Water level electric brick is a simple, easy-to-use, high performance, reasonably priced sensor. The water level is detected by the exposed parallel wires and the water volume. It then converts the water level to an analog signal that can be easily recognized by (for example) a micro:bit. Use it to sound a water level alarm!

Notice: The components above the MAX water level are not waterproof, please do not put them in the water.
