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.

Arduino pulse counter water meter.

It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. Single phase and three phase electrical energy meters gas meters water meters. The home for open source hardware. The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests.

Best live chat. Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery. The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. I bought it in 6 dollars.

I will explain about it during code explanation. Order online or call toll free 1 800 899 0553. A log of all water meter activity is saved on the sd card. In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output.

The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. Donate to support open hardware. In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh. 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.

In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin. Many meters have pulse outputs examples include.
