What you need

• Water Flow Sensor
• Arduino UNO or compatible
• 5V-24V Power Supply Cable
• 10kΩ resistor

Steps

1. 1. Ensure power supply is between 5V-24V.
2. 2. Connect the sensor to Arduino’s A0 pin.
3. 3. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between VCC and GND.
4. 4. Connect VCC to Arduino’s 5V and GND to Arduino’s GND.
5. 5. Check the datasheet for maximum and minimum flow values.
6. 6. Load the Arduino code to read the values.
7. 7. Test the sensor with different flow amounts.
8. 8. Record data for monitoring.

Example code

```void loop() {  int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);  Serial.println(sensorValue);  delay(1000);}
