Cheap flow meters are cheap for a reason
07/11/2016 at 18:26 • 1 commentI now have four flow meters collecting dust and none of them have threads that can be used in any common application. I assumed that a G3/8 thread was a common 3/8 plumbing thread, turns out no. It's designed for some obscure compression fitting that the local guy at the plumbing store says is only used in dentistry. So after months of waiting for flow meters from China I am left looking for something MUCH more expensive locally. Wish me luck.

Thermisters and Thumb-twiddling
03/30/2016 at 16:33 • 0 commentsI received the thermisters I ordered and bread-boarded up a simple thermometer just to see something working. Until I receive the flow meters I cant really work on the code. The themister code will need to know what percentage of the water is hot and what percentage is cold in order to get an accurate temperature at the tap.
