Calculating water flow rate based on the pulses counted


In this part, we measure the pulses and convert them to the flow of water using the following steps:

  1. Open a new Arduino IDE, and copy the following sketch.

  2. Verify and upload the sketch on the Arduino board.

            int pin = 2; 
            volatile unsigned int pulse; 
            constintpulses_per_litre = 450; 
     
            void setup() 
            { 
              Serial.begin(9600); 
     
              pinMode(pin, INPUT); 
              attachInterrupt(0, count_pulse, RISING); 
            } 
    
  3. The following code will calculate the pulses that are reading from the sensor; we divide the number of pulses counted in one second, and we have pulses per liter:

          void loop() 
          { 
            pulse = 0; 
            interrupts(); 
            delay(1000); 
            noInterrupts(); 
     
            Serial.print("Pulses per second: "); 
            Serial.println(pulse); 
     
            Serial...
