Using FSR to measure how much water is in my cup.

My cup

bg cup

Motivation:
It happens very often that my cup is overflowing. It is because I usually stare at my computer, work with one hand, and at the same time fill water into my cup with the other hand. With the water-level meter, I won't overfill my cup.

measure water amount
