Liquid Drop Speed Measurement System Based On Arduino

Description:

ICStation team has made this project about the liquid drop speed measurement system. It uses DC 5V to work. When there is no liquid in the infrared area, the buzzer will alarm and when there is liquid in the infrared area, the buzzer will not alarm. The LCD 1602 can display the drops of liquid every 10 second. You can set the drops of liquid every 10 second for reference.It is a low-cost and simple liquid drop speed measurement system. It is suitable for the areas such as works, hospital.

Functions:

1. After the initialization of hardware, the LCD1602 will display the pre-set interface. 2. When there is no liquid in the infrared area, the buzzer will alarm and the LCD1602 will display the N on the YN column.

3. When there is liquid in the infrared area, the buzzer will not alarm and the LCD1602 will display the Y on the YN column. And if there is a drop of liquid, the display of LCD1602 will add one.

4. You can set the drops of liquid every 10 second by tow buttons.
