General Information

  • Capacitive Sensors
    • 580 default value (non-submerged)
    • 310 lowest value (fully submerged)
    • 350 best value (half submerged)
    • When using all sensors at once, values change to: 335, 365, 580 (respectively)
    • Values raise by approximately 60 in value when water pumps activate; 15 per active water pump. Possibly as power is drawn away, sensors become less accurate?
  • Light Sensor
    • 390 default value (regular position)
    • 0 lowest value (completely dark)
    • 530 medium value (10m distance)
    • 670 max value (close proximity)
    • Values may be less accurate due to power limitations.
