Digital Water Flow Meter Circuit using Arduino

Project Overview-
The purpose of this project is to design a Digital Water Flow Meter Circuit using an Arduino
microcontroller to measure and display the flow rate of water accurately. This project will be
particularly useful in monitoring water usage in residential, commercial, or agricultural
settings. By accurately tracking water flow, it supports water conservation efforts, reduces
wastage, and provides real-time data that can aid in informed decision-making.
Objectives-
 To measure the flow rate of water using a water flow sensor.
 To display the real-time flow rate on an LCD screen.
 To log the water consumption over time and display it on a Serial Monitor.
 Optionally, to set up an alert system if a certain threshold is reached.
Materials Required-
 Arduino Uno or any compatible Arduino board
 YF-S201 or similar Hall-effect water flow sensor
 16x2 LCD display (with or without I2C module)
 Breadboard and jumper wires
 220Ω resistor (for the LCD display backlight)
 10k potentiometer (for LCD contrast adjustment)
 Optional components: Buzzer or LED for alert system, SD card module for data
logging
Working Principle-
The water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body, a rotor, and a Hall-effect sensor. As
water flows through the sensor, it rotates the rotor, creating magnetic pulses detected by the
Hall sensor. The Arduino reads these pulses and calculates the flow rate in litre per minute
(L/min) by measuring the pulse frequency.
