Experiment 1 - HC-SR04 to monitor fuel level

A project log for PelletMon - IoT for central heating / boiler.

Monitor pellet boiler status via CAN bus, measure fuel usage - RE + engineering = profit !

Experiment 1

I've bought HC-SR04 distance sensor and connected it to ESP32 devkit. I was curious if it would return reasonable value, because the fuel has no smooth / flat surface.

Result - suprise! It works!

This is a cool project base then, so I can research further :)
