Flow Sensor

The Flow Sensor project involves using an Arduino Mega to measure the flow rate of liquid passing through a flow sensor. This project demonstrates how to interface a flow sensor with the Arduino Mega, count the pulses generated by the sensor, and calculate the flow rate in liters per minute (L/min) and flow in milliliters (ml) per minute. It provides real-time monitoring of fluid flow, making it suitable for applications requiring accurate measurement and control of liquid flow rates.

Components Needed

• Arduino Mega
• Flow Sensor (with pulse output)
• Jumper Wires
• Breadboard
