Piezo crystal monitors liquid level


Posted on Oct 3, 2012

The simple and inexpensive circuit in Figure 1 monitors the liquid level in a container. The piezo crystal, carefully mounted at the bottom surface of the container, receives it activation from the 74HCT14 hex Schmitt trigger. The crystal generates stable clock pulses according to its specification (for example, 6.14 MHz) when it is in free air. The crystal-based clock drives the 0th counter in an 8254 programmable-counter/timer chip, programmed in Mode 0 as an event counter.
