In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3.
Arduino pulse counter water meter.
Donate to support open hardware.
Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin.
Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress.
The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both.

It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.
The home for open source hardware.
The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests.
I will explain about it during code explanation.
In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh.
I bought it in 6 dollars.
The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.
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.
