So i know the arduino is seeing an input.
Water meter pulse counter arduino.
Set the pulse factor to the number of revolutions per cubic meters or gallons of water.
So i m trying to count the pulses of a swiss flow sf800 flow sensor meter in my current arduino project but i m currently not getting any data printed out to the console.
However i did write a sketch earlier to test that that i am able to read pulses in basically using a pulse generator and whenever a pulse is high an led is on.
The goal of this is to create a pulse counter than in turn will allow us to determine flow rate in the meter.
I am using a netafim m series flow meter interfaced with a uc 32 arduino.
The default frequency 3 times per minute every 20 seconds.
I will include it here.
Said arduino needs to be connected to my lan so that i can query it on a regular basis it also needs to be aware of real time so it can timestamp the water consumption.
There are a few parameters that need to be tuned to your water meter.
In this tutorial i am going to teach you about how to use arduino flow meter to measure the amount of water passing through the water valve.
How to use the water flow sensor with arduino.
Flow meter is actually a valve.
Ok so i am having some trouble getting the counter to count or the way i am looking at the count total in the serial monitor is wrong.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use one water flow sensor with an arduino board.
The idea of this project is to use an arduino to count every drop of water that goes through the water company meter.
1 us gallon per pulse for this model i am using a relatively simple program to test my wiring and the flow meter s connection to the uc 32.
Open the arduino serial monitor and blow air through the water flow sensor using your mouth.
My arduino sketch looks like the following.
One can control the valve manually and digitally in order to limit the flow of water through the pipe.
The water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body a water rotor and a hall effect sensor.
The number of pulses per second will be printed on the arduino serial monitor for each loop as shown in the following screenshot.
For every round of the wheel the volume of water flowing through is a certain amount as is the number of square waves output.
You can also set the frequency that the sensor will report the water consumption by updating the send frequency.
