Abstract

Context: The objective of this work is to develop a system for measuring and monitoring flow and hydraulic depth for the Hydraulics Pilot Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Guayaquil, to show flow and hydraulic depth in real time and store them in an IoT (Internet of Things) server. Method: The use of free hardware and software provides a practical and accessible solution. Using the Arduino microcontroller, an MPX 5500 differential pressure sensor and HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors for measurements according to variations in flow characteristics. Results: The IoT platform allows teachers and students to analyze the data received by each sensor in real time during hydraulics practices. Conclusions: The prototype was designed with open-source components and software. The calibration of the sensors was carried out with empirical data and practices performed in the laboratory provided by teachers of the Civil Engineering Career.
