Arduino Water Detection Alarm Project

This tutorial guides you through creating a simple water detection circuit using an Arduino microcontroller. The project aims to prototype a water detection alarm for monitoring water levels in a sump pump crock. The tutorial covers the materials needed, the setup of the water detection circuit, and the integration of a speaker circuit. It also explains the code used to operate the circuits, demonstrating how to combine them for a functional prototype. The project is a proof of concept, focusing on quick prototyping and basic functionality.
