    Whilst the 3D Printer is printing away, I managed to fry an S2 Mini and the only DC-DC converter I have. I honestly do not know how the dc-dc got fried, but I ordered some new ones and will update once it arrives and everything is up and running.

    Okay, so I think I am winning.

    Everything is installed and working flawlessly. I have noticed that the installer of my tank system was very very conservative with the float and when the float stops the tank from filling, we are only indicating about 1980lt. So, I'll address that at some stage. The enclosure might need a little tweaking and reprinting too, but for the interim it'll do. Otherwise, I'm happy with how everything turned out. I'll monitor it for a couple of weeks and then start building one for the other tank too.
    Thanks for all the help - the inner nerd in me would not have been able to figure this out.

    Awesome, I'll have to resolder a bit and hopefully we're good to go then.

    I'll wire it all like yours and just use an additional buck converter down to 5V for the ESP32
    The trusty 3D printer is busy doing its thing for an enclosure, so once it is all done, Ill give an update.

    Hi Muttley and Robbie

    I'll be attempting this project over the weekend, as the ultrasonic sensors are proving to be absolute rubbish inside the tanks.

    I have 2x ECO Slimline 2220lt tanks, but will initially only use the DF Robot solution in one tank. Problem with these slimline tanks are that they have two cylinders, which join together towards the top, so I'm not sure on which formula to use in the yaml file. Do you guys perhaps have any ideas?
