Implementation of a flowmeter for the optimization of irrigation systems

Abstract

Due to the current water shortage that is beginning to emerge, it is important to look for technological alternatives that optimize water use in plants. One of these solutions is the use of flowmeters. The development of a flowmeter with an arduino aims to create a device that can measure and display the flow of a liquid through a flowmeter. For this, an Arduino board and various electronic components are used, such as a flow sensor, an LCD screen and an amplifier circuit. The flow sensor is placed in the pipeline and measures the amount of liquid flowing through it. The data obtained by the sensor is sent to the Arduino board, which processes it and displays it on the LCD screen. The amplifier circuit is used to amplify the signal from the flow sensor and ensure accurate measurement. In addition, a power supply is included to ensure that the device works properly. The flowmeter with Arduino allows you to measure and observe the flow of liquids in a variety of applications, from irrigation systems to industrial processes. It is an affordable and easy-to-use solution to monitor and control the flow of liquids in real time.
