Cistern Drinking Water Level Indication - MIMOLITE?

Hi All,

I have a 50 cubic meter Cistern (13,000Gallons) at our acerage and I would like to monitor the tank level %.

I have a Fortrezz MIMOlite which I have used the existing coding out there to get the unit to display Voltage.

The mimolite unit displays 0-5VDC. I have installed a level transmitter that is ranged 0-2.5meters for tank level.

First I was hoping to change the readout so that 0 volts = 0 meters and 5 volts = 2.5 Meters.

Second I was hoping to have a second display that calculates volume of a horizontal capsule based off the tank level, I realize this would take a lot of calculations as the volume is non-linear. The tank is 30ft long by 8ft tall and 8ft wide.

My background is in industrial automation so I’m unfamiliar with how to write the code for this.

Any help would be great, Thanks!

Jared
