Abstract
This study implemented a system that basically collects water level data from a body of water then displays it to an Android-based handheld device. Two Arduino clone (Gizduino Mini ATmega 168) were used in the study as the main processing units. The hardware part of the system consists of a collector board that detects changes in water level where a stream of data in bits was sent to the receiver board through 433MHz RF frequency. The receiver board then converts and transmits the bits of data to an Android-device paired to it via Bluetooth. Both MCU's firmware were coded using the Arduino IDE v1.6.5. Software-wise, a mobile application name DroidBuoy was developed using MIT App Inventor 2 to convert serial byte data from the Bluetooth device to water level readouts. Added functionality within the mobile app includes: SMS (Short Message Service) support, Sharing, and water level data log. The study was subjected in the following tests to determine its performance: Bluetooth range test, RF range test and water level detection accuracy.
