Internet of Things Programming with JavaScript

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things is taking the tech world by storm, and JavaScript is at its helm. This book will get you to grips with this exciting new technology. Where do Node.js, HTML5 and Windows 10 IoT Core come in with JavaScript and IoT? Why Raspberry Pi Zero rather than Arduino? How do you configure and build an IoT network from scratch? All your IoT JavaScript questions are answered in this book.

Preface

Calculating water flow rate based on the pulses counted


In this part, we measure the pulses and convert them to the flow of water using the following steps:

  1. Open a new Arduino IDE, and copy the following sketch.

  2. Verify and upload the sketch on the Arduino board.

            int pin = 2; 
            volatile unsigned int pulse; 
            constintpulses_per_litre = 450; 
     
            void setup() 
            { 
              Serial.begin(9600); 
     
              pinMode(pin, INPUT); 
              attachInterrupt(0, count_pulse, RISING); 
            } 
    
  3. The following code will calculate the pulses that are reading from the sensor; we divide the number of pulses counted in one second, and we have pulses per liter:

          void loop() 
          { 
            pulse = 0; 
            interrupts(); 
            delay(1000); 
            noInterrupts(); 
     
            Serial.print("Pulses per second: "); 
            Serial.println(pulse); 
     
            Serial...
