Hello folks,
I have done a cocktail machine and would like to improve it.
On my machine the botlle goes on the side and a pipe go in , however i would like to add a level sensor but couldn't find anything precise enough or small to get into the botlle .
If you have an idea thanks !

Does it have to go in the bottle or could you sense it the level through the bottle ?
Well i dont mind ,as long as it is accurate because i check a infrared sensor i don't think it will work properly with bottle
no one?
You could make a very small sensor by baring a short length of the end of 2 insulated wires and inserting them into the bottle at the required depth. You can then sense when the level reaches the wires and stop filling the bottle. I hope that it goes without saying that the wires must be cleaned between each use.
Thanks for your reply but i was looking for something easier to use 
Just keep a track of the amount of each liquid dispensed.

why not? Did you try?
A flow sensor was my thought, too.
