ABSTRACT
It has been made an automatic faucet for water dispenser. In this system,
the faucet will be opened when the ray from the infrared LED to photodiode is
blocked by a non-transparent glass. The water will flow in to the glass through the
electric faucet and automatically stop when the gap between the water surface,
which is detected by the ultrasonic sensor, and the rim of the cup as far as 1 cm.
Since this water dispenser used 7 height level of photodiode sensor, when the
glasss height is not match to the height level of photodiodes, the water will not
stop at 1 cm gap. Besides, because of rippling water at the filling process, caused
the reading process of ultrasonic sensor a little bit inaccurate.
