i know that but the problem now how to write 8 digits in eeprom

@hard-shovel said in cannot save water meter in arduino EEPROM:

if (EEPROM.read(0) == 0xFF){

thanks it working now but cannot read more than 8 digits number

unfortunately cannot read the values that stored after a power cycle

@hard-shovel said in cannot save water meter in arduino EEPROM:

controller

same issue with your modification in the code & the controller are using arduino mega 2560

i'm use the below code but the main problem.when arduino powered off the value of ''totalMilliLitres'' stored return to 0

Liquid flow rate sensor -DIYhacking.com Arvind Sanjeev

Measure the liquid/water flow rate using this code. 
Connect Vcc and Gnd of sensor to arduino, and the 
signal line to arduino digital pin 2.

unfortunately not;
i need to store in arduino eeprom and iam using this sensor

hello Friends
any one can help me in how to store total of liters count in arduino eeprom ;Problem When arduino mega has turned off ; the stored value of liters returns to 0
