Arduino Water Meter Pulse

Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.

Arduino water meter pulse. 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. The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2. Calculating power 3600 seconds per hour 3600j per pulse ie. Upload the flow meter code to your arduino.

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. 1 whr 3600j therefore instantaneous power p 3600 t where t is the time between the falling edge of each pulse. Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery.

Uploading the flow meter code to the arduino and measuring water flow rate. Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with. Reading pulses from meters with pulse outputs. In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output.

Uploading code to arduino and measuring. Upload the water flow meter code to the arduino. 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. Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin. When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulsecounter function.

This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter. I bought it in 6 dollars. In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3.
