/challenges-projects/design-challenges/vertical-farming/b/blog/posts/automated-green-house-blog-8---water-usageI am sure a lot of you are also working on ways to keep an eye on water flow, So I thought I would make a blog covering my implementation. I opted for a hall effect flow meter because I salvaged it a while ago and had it handy.

Could you provide some details about the flow meter? Seems to be a nice product, since it can be powered using an Arduino pin</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=357&AppID=120&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
