Hi this is great, I am having trouble sourcing the attachment that goes on the dial to gather this information. Any thoughts on putting together a project guide on how you did your solution?

The sensor is simply a UGN3503 ratiometric hall effect sensor glued directly over the needle pivot on the analog gage. (A magnet in the tank rotates to move the needle.)

Looking to do the exact same thing..
What code did you use on the Arduino ?
Thanx

Can you share your code with us? I have a sensor from a broken tank-utility device but would love to roll my own.
