Trigger solenoid valve based on resistance

I have a KUS SSS Water level sensor for my RV that I would like to have trigger a NO 12v solenoid valve to turn off when my tank has reached full (and ideally also sound a little piezo). … The sensor ranges from 240 Ω empty to 33 Ω full. I'd like to trigger at about 50 Ω. I'm wondering what would be the simple circuit to make this happen? …

What's simplest way to measure mass or weight with Arduino

Since it's a hanging system you're going to want to use something like a stretch sensor: A load cell wouldn't work to well in this particular case. … You can calibrate the stretch sensor using a weight calibration kit to map the sensor values. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Map …

Amplifying signal from CO2 Sensor

I am trying to amplify a MG811 CO2 sensor to a range readable by an ATMEGA2560 (0-5v). I have other analog sensors, so do not want to change ref voltage on Atmega. … It seems from the module documentation that the sensor operates in a range of 100-600mV (though this is different from the datasheet which shows a range between about 260-350mv). …
