Life is better with Open Source

In my humble opinion ….

I am building the world…

…that I want live in. Not waiting for the future…

DIY Water gauge

This a project is for a friend was concerned about how much water was in her cistern.  I decided to use a rangefinder to measure the water level and then email this value.  I also 3D printed a case for the Raspberry Pi.

This is currently a work in progress.
