Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-01386, TDC1000,
Hello everyone,
In my project, I want to measure the level of sludge accumulated in a large and deep tank, and I thought of using ultrasonic sensing for that, similar to the following product:
https://kansai-automation.co.jp/en/product/flow_meter_etc/sludge_interface.php
For that, I'd like to know which solution do you'd recommend for my project. I was thinking about using the PGA460 that has a 0.1 m to 10 m range, but it's recommended to use it in Air medium. Would it work for water? If so, what's the transducer's frequency should I use? I already read the SLAA732 Application Report and the FAQ but I still have doubts about it.
If the AFE PGA460 is recommended for my project, should I start with which EVM? (TIDA-01386?). In the end I want to design my own board using the AFE and a MSP microcontroller, and to send the distance data using ZigBee communication.
All suggestions are welcome!
Best regards
Lucas
