Connect 9V DC power supply to the Arduino board. 65 0 obj <> endobj xref 65 34 0000000016 00000 n 0 But opting out of some of these cookies may have an effect on your browsing experience. According to the data sheet, the water flow meter that we are using for this project will generate approximately 450 pulses per liter. You can then disconnect your water meter from the computer after uploading the sketch onto your Arduino. We are specialists in the design, manufacture and installation of ultrasonic wastewater flow and level monitoring equipment for the water industry. If a water flow meter is not installed correctly, it wont work properly, so if you have any questions relating to installation, please dont hesitate to contact us. The following image illustrates jumper wires with male and female headers: Water flow meter produces and outputs digital pulses according to the amount of water flowing through it that can be detected and counted using Arduino.
