2 or more Flow Sensors

Hello,

This is my second project and now i have 6 Flow Sensors. (this one: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/g12-water-flow-sensor-p-635.html?cPath=144_151)

I have de following code:

##--------------------------------------------------------------------------
volatile int NbTopsFan; //measuring the rising edges of the signal
int Calc;
int hallsensor = 2; //The pin location of the sensor

void rpm () //This is the function that the interupt calls
{
NbTopsFan++; //This function measures the rising and falling edge of the hall effect sensors signal
}
// The setup() method runs once, when the sketch starts
void setup() //
{
pinMode(hallsensor, INPUT); //initializes digital pin 2 as an input
Serial.begin(9600); //This is the setup function where the serial port is initialised,
attachInterrupt(0, rpm, RISING); //and the interrupt is attached
}
// the loop() method runs over and over again,
// as long as the Arduino has power
void loop ()
{
NbTopsFan = 0; //Set NbTops to 0 ready for calculations
sei(); //Enables interrupts
delay (1000); //Wait 1 second
cli(); //Disable interrupts
Calc = (NbTopsFan * 60 / 7.5); //(Pulse frequency x 60) / 7.5Q, = flow rate in L/hour
Serial.print (Calc, DEC); //Prints the number calculated above
Serial.print (" L/hour\r\n"); //Prints "L/hour" and returns a new line
}

##--------------------------------------------------------------------------

But how can i use 2 (or more) flow sensors?
I tried to 'copy' the code and replace the vars, but i always get the value of the first flow-sensor.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks!!!! :slight_smile:

you can have two interrupts directly on pin 2 and 3 (now you are using pin2 == iirq0

To extend it to multiple (>2) irq's you need to read - Arduino Playground - PinChangeInt -

With the pinChangeinterrupt you can monitor multiple IO lines for changes. But all 8 will call the same function so your IRQ function has to find out who "pulled the trigger".

Hello Rob,

Thanks for your replay.
Can you gave me an example code?

I read your linked-page, but it looks like !@&#*!@^# for me :grin:

Thank you!

Thanks for your replay.

seen this one? - Arduino Playground - HomePage -

It is not trivial so it might take your some time to learn ...
