    Hi Don! Thank you, and thanks for the question. While volumes can be written comparing and contrasting all of the different technologies available for measuring gas flow, I'll try to give a reasonably…

    Hello, Thanks for your reply. The problem has now been solved. There was an error in the catalogue which has now been corrected. The correct sensors are with me and ready for test in my project. Thanks…

    am unable to find a suitable sensor for this purpose..please help me out..

    Hello Ajay,

    I do not have much experience with water flow sensors, primarily air/gas types.  Have you investigated ultrasonic type liquid flow meters?  They can be mounted to the outside of your pipe to provide a non-intrusive, no pressure drop, low maintenance solution.

    Hi D

     

    What would be an ideal sensor to use on a simple project like a Pedometer, just to measure the steps, convert them to distance and calories, without complicated algorithms .

    Thanks

    Regarding the pedometers, I'd check out what manufacturers of accelerometeres have to offer.  Sorry for the delayed reply, didn't see the notice come in on your question.
