Well, the price is definitely more. I'll keep my eyes peeled for some on ebay or on HBT. I'd love to monitor volume, but not sure I can hide another 300-400 from the wife.The short answer is yes it will do it, but you'll have to make some changes to the code (what those are I cannot say).
The swissflow meters were used for several reasons, one, they're the most accurate ones available. Two, they're food grade. Three, there's already another system (kegbot) thats using them.
The meters on adafruit's site are an unknown.
We do not know if they are food grade (one could "almost" say that at the price they are selling them for its questionable), the pulse per liter on them is ~450 pulses per liter where the swiss flow is set to somewhere around 5600 pulses per liter (if my memory is correct, I did the math 6 months ago). Also the accuracy of the swissflow is a lot greater than the adafruit.
We do not support the adafruit meter (we'll help out, but we're far more knowledgeable about the swissflow ones).
This topic has come up with in the last several posts as well and I *think* someone was going to try it....
That being said, I did find the Parts list and tutorial on the RP site, so that'll make things easier.
I'll put it on hold and maybe start with 1 on meter and then expand from there. Thanks for the input. The SwissFlow does seem much better and worth the money.
