I want to create a Raspberry Pi water level monitor system using HCSR04 ultrasonic range sensor. The HCSR04 is placed on the roof of water tank. Then the distance is measured and the the distance is send to the Bottle server. My program is:
#Name of program is web_sensor.py
import os, time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from bottle import route, run, template
def water_level():
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Define GPIO to use on Pi
GPIO_TRIGGER = 23
GPIO_ECHO = 24
# Speed of sound in cm/s at temperature
temperature = 20
speedSound = 33100 + (0.6*temperature)
# Set pins as output and input
GPIO.setup(GPIO_TRIGGER,GPIO.OUT) # Trigger
GPIO.setup(GPIO_ECHO,GPIO.IN) # Echo
# Set trigger to False (Low)
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, False)
# Allow module to settle
time.sleep(0.5)
# Send 10us pulse to trigger
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, True)
# Wait 10us
time.sleep(0.00001)
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, False)
start = time.time()
while GPIO.input(GPIO_ECHO)==0:
start = time.time()
while GPIO.input(GPIO_ECHO)==1:
stop = time.time()
# Calculate pulse length
elapsed = stop-start
# Distance pulse travelled in that time is time
# multiplied by the speed of sound (cm/s)
distance = elapsed * speedSound
# That was the distance there and back so halve the value
distance = distance / 2
water_level=distance -100 #since depth of tank is 1meter
return water_level
@route('/temp')
def temp():
return water_level()
@route('/')
def index():
return template('main.html')
@route('/raphael')
def index():
return template('raphael.2.1.0.min.js')
@route('/justgage')
def index():
return template('justgage.1.0.1.min.js')
run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)
And the main.html file is
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="raphael"></script>
<script src="justgage"></script>
<script>
function callback(tempStr, status){
if (status == "success") {
temp = parseFloat(tempStr).toFixed(2);
g.refresh(temp);
setTimeout(getReading, 1000);
}
else {
alert("There was a problem");
}
}
function getReading(){
$.get('/temp', callback);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="gauge" class="200x160px"></div>
<script>
var g = new JustGage({
id: "gauge",
value: 0,
min: 10,
max: 100,
title: "water level in cm"
});
getReading();
</script>
</body>
</html>
I have also a justguage.1. 0.1. min.js and rapheal.2. 1.0.min.js available from http://justgage.com. The reference for this program was Simon Monk's Raspberry Pi cookbook and code shared on github. The program is actually written for measure CPU temperature of Raspberry Pi.The output of that program is pleasing. However it is not working for my ultrasonic range measurement. The server starts without any error. But the interactive output using the JavaScript files not showing anything. Please help me to find out the error...
