I have Arduino Leonardo, ethernet shield Wiznet w5100 with sd card and poe,water meter with impulse out Minomess ETK-M pulse - Pulse value 10 l/Imp, i ordered DS1307 RTC, LCD 16x2 and Ubuntu 12.04 web server.How to create something this? Help me program!

If you want someone to write the code for you then you would be better off asking in Gigs and Collaborations http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/board,26.0.html

[Reply #2 on:]

it can look a bit like this project - http://www.ladyada.net/make/logshield/lighttemp.html -
merged with a pulse counter - http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/EEM12L-32AKWhMonitoring -

This works ok but how to i add to this water cost? 1m3 = 2,76€

[Reply #4 on:]

You would need to calibrate the sensor so that you had an accurate reading in liters or cubic meters, and then multiply that by your cost-per-liter or cost-per-cubic-meter to calculate the corresponding cost.

[Reply #5 on:]

The code you posted a link to tells you how many litres of water have passed through the sensor.  You know how many litres there are in a cubic metre.  You know how much a cubic metre of water costs.  So, the cost is just a matter of doing the maths and outputting the result.

Have you tried any of the example scripts that came with the Arduino ?
The arithmetic operators, add, subtract, multiply, divide and others are described in the Arduino reference installed with the IDE and accessible from the IDE menu (Help/Reference)

OK. I will try. I have water meter with pulse sensor. 1 pulse = 1 litre

[Reply #7 on:]

Post your code here if you get stuck.

Don't waste too much water when testing it though !

[Reply #8 on:]

I do not want pulses and freguency. Lcd could be shown only to liters and price. Water cost is 1m3 = 2,76 € . Water meter 1 pulse = 1 litre

As I said

The code you posted a link to tells you how many litres of water have passed through the sensor.  You know how many litres there are in a cubic metre.  You know how much a cubic metre of water costs.  So, the cost is just a matter of doing the maths and outputting the result.

Remove any other output that you don't want.

All working ok but water cost in EUR looks 0,0027600000222 (sample) . I need 0,00000 format. This line :   Serial.print(liters, DEC); Serial.println(" EUR-i");
  I convert pulses to liters and liters to cost.

Sorry my english.

[Reply #11 on:]

All working very well.
This line :   Serial.print(liters,DEC);    Serial.println(" EUR-i");
was wrong
 I write :   Serial.print(liters,5);    Serial.println(" EUR-i");
and cost is 0,00000

Glad you fixed it. For future reference, when posting code please enclose it in [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tags. The # button in the editing window inserts these for you.

[Reply #13 on:]

Okay.

Then i want to add ethernet shield and send data to web server.I have Wiznet w5100.
