In this tutorial i am going to teach you about how to use arduino flow meter to measure the amount of water passing through the water valve.
Arduino water flow meter code.
How to use water flow sensor arduino tutorial.
The output of the project is to display the quantity of water flowing through the sensor in litres per hour as shown below.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use one water flow sensor with an arduino board the water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body a water rotor and a hall effect sensor.
Uploading code to arduino and measuring.
This is used to read the pulses coming from the flow meter.
The code uses an external interrupt on the arduino s digital pin 2.
In this project use the yf s201 1 2 inch water flow sensor to measure the water flow rate l min and display it on an lcd.
In this tutorial we will be hooking up a flow sensor to an arduino uno to measure liquid flow.
Flowmeter is an arduino library that provides calibrated flow and volume measurement with flow sensors.
The code for the arduino water flow sensor interface is given below.
We are using the header file of the lcd which eases our interfacing the lcd with arduino and the pins 12 11 5 4 3 9 are allotted for data transfer between lcd and arduino.
Upload the flow meter code to your arduino.
Flow meter is actually a valve.
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.
This type of flow sensor is designed to measure the volume of liquid traveling past a given point a great way to keep tabs on how much water your drip irrigation system is using or any other project were the flow of liquid needs to be tracked.
Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with.
When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulse counter function.
You can use it to count flow and volume of liquids and gases although the documentation focuses on applications using liquids and can support multiple flow sensors at the same time.
When the water flows through the rotor rotor rolls and the speed.
In order to obtain this there is a small.
One can control the valve manually and digitally in order to limit the flow of water through the pipe.
Upload the water flow meter code to the arduino.
When the arduino detects the pulse it immediately triggers the pulsecounter function.
The complete water flow sensor arduino code is given at the bottom of the page.
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.
There is a small calculation in the code which i will explain in the further sections.
