Arduino Water Meter Pulse

Uploading the flow meter code to the arduino and measuring water flow rate.

Arduino water meter pulse.

I bought it in 6 dollars. Uploading code to arduino and measuring. Calculating power 3600 seconds per hour 3600j per pulse ie. 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.

The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2. When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulsecounter function. Upload the flow meter code to your arduino. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin.

Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with. Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery. This function then counts the total. I will explain about it during code explanation.

The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2. This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter. It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulse counter function.

1 whr 3600j therefore instantaneous power p 3600 t where t is the time between the falling edge of each pulse. Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress. 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. Upload the water flow meter code to the arduino.

For the a100c meter each pulse represents a 1000th of a kwhr of 1whr of energy passing through the meter. In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output. Reading pulses from meters with pulse outputs.
