Arduino Pulse Counter Water Meter

Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress.

Arduino pulse counter water meter.

Using an sd card and an ethernet connection together has proven challenging both use an spi connection until i used the w5100 chip based ethernet shield with an integrated sd card. Best live chat. The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests. The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.

The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both. I bought it in 6 dollars. Many meters have pulse outputs examples include. Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.

The home for open source hardware. In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh. In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin.

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. I will explain about it during code explanation. 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.

The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery. Order online or call toll free 1 800 899 0553.
