Arduino Water Meter Pulse

This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter.

Arduino water meter pulse.

When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulse counter function. When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulsecounter function. Uploading the flow meter code to the arduino and measuring water flow rate. This function then counts the total.

Upload the water flow meter code to the arduino. I will explain about it during code explanation. I bought it in 6 dollars. The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2.

In this project we will interface yfs201 hall effect water flow sensor with arduino for measuring flow rate and volume of water or any other liquid this is a very wonderful project that can be used in industry or at home or at water flow measurement application in water tap tunnel river etc. For the a100c meter each pulse represents a 1000th of a kwhr of 1whr of energy passing through the meter. The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2. Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with.

Calculating power 3600 seconds per hour 3600j per pulse ie. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin. 1 whr 3600j therefore instantaneous power p 3600 t where t is the time between the falling edge of each pulse. This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter.

Uploading code to arduino and measuring. In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3. It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress.

However if you have an older power meter without a pulse output then you might be able to use one of the options below to sense your water consumption. Reading pulses from meters with pulse outputs. Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.
