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.
Arduino water meter reader.
Now you can upload your sketch onto your arduino if you haven t uploaded a sketch before then follow this guide on getting started.
The idea is to make a sensor which can sense the water levelin tanks where the motor pumps are used.
The solution was a 15 meter length of four conductor.
Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.
In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output.
Using technology and a hackers mindset to increase food security for the coming billions last updated 21 9 2015.
This videos explain a lot of details about the project fabrications.
It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.
The normal range for ph in surface water systems is 6 5 to 8 5 and the ph range for groundwater systems is between 6 to 8 5.
So the water under.
There was also the issue of how to power the arduino and magnetometer i had placed at the water meter which is well separated from my house.
In general water with a ph lower than 7 is considered acidic and with a ph greater than 7 is considered basic.
Because your setup ct resistors and input voltage may be different there is a scaling factor in the sketch which you will need to change before you will get.
Arduino hall effect water flow meter.
This a project i ve been working for some time now.
The project under discussion has the capability to checkthe water level and also send the data over wifi.
A hackers solution to world hunger.
Least 4 minutes you find the testing experiment on mm 93.
It is a device that shows in a little lcd display the distance to the nearest object it can find usually the floor the ceilling and two walls or columns.
To check the water level ultrasonic hc sr04 is the distancesensor.
There is no specific method to checkthe level of the water.
So i built my smart meter model mm 93 based on arduino with some awesome features hope you like and enjoy the project.
Connect arduino with the laptop and open the serial monitor.
A project log for fly wars.
The ph of pure water is 7.
And it worked well.
