LessonsLearned

The first lesson learned from this project was to get the water sensor ultrasound working properly with the software codes. I also learned how to embedded microcontroller in any projects in the future. I learned how to build electrical circuits and how to design circuits, which made me more confident to work as electrical engineer.
