When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulsecounter function.
Arduino water meter pulse.
Calculating power 3600 seconds per hour 3600j per pulse ie.
When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulse counter function.
Uploading code to arduino and measuring.
This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter.
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.
In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3.
This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter.
In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output.
Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery.
Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress.
Upload the water flow meter code to the arduino.
1 whr 3600j therefore instantaneous power p 3600 t where t is the time between the falling edge of each pulse.
The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2.
Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin.
This function then counts the total.
Upload the flow meter code to your arduino.
The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2.
It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.
I will explain about it during code explanation.
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.
Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with.
